Young Apu (Pinaki Sengupta), lives with his mother, Sarbajaya (Karuna Bannerjee), and father, Harihar (Karuna Bandyopadhyay), near the Ganges River. When Harihar dies suddenly, Apu and Sarbajaya move to a small village to be near relatives. Eventually, she reluctantly allows her son (now played by Smaran Ghosal) to attend school in Calcutta. As Apu acclimates to life in the city, Sarbajaya struggles with his absence.
