The frail old woman drinks, splashes on her brow some drops, sparkling in the sunlight. Subtly, immaculately, the next few shots tear you apart.

The hard lot of Apu's family stems from national conditions and the improvidence of his father: a musician and would-be writer with foolish dreams of literary glory, who is absent, searching for work, much of the time.
