Film Screening at Valentines Mansion - Pather Panchali by Satyajit Ray

Sometime in the early years of the 20th century, a boy, Apu, is born to a poor Brahmin family in a village in Bengal. The father, a poet and priest, cannot earn enough to keep his family going. Apu's sister, Durga, is forever stealing guavas from the neighbour's orchards. All these add to the daily struggles of the mother's life, notwithstanding her constant bickering with an old aunt who lives with the family.
