Ray’s second installment is split into two sections that show 10 year old Apu and his family living by the Ganges and the adult Apu attending college and working in Calcutta. Through both halves, Apu explores the world and learns of life’s difficulties; the minimalist style and characterization are top notch as Apu matures, grows away from his family, and learns independence.
