Pather Panchali (1955)

The story of a young boy, Apu, and life in his small Indian village. His parents are quite poor; his father Harihar, a writer and poet, gave away the family's fruit orchard to settle his brother's debts. His sister Durga and an old aunt also live with them. His mother Sarbojaya bears the brunt of the family's situation. She scrapes by, sells her personal possessions to put food on the table, and bears neighbors' taunts as Durga is always stealing fruit from their orchard. Things get worse when Harihar disappears for five months and Durga falls ill. Even after Harihar returns, the family is left with few alternatives.
