Summary: Ray’s last film continues his critique of
decaying values in the Bengali middle class (cf.
Ganashatru, 1989; Shakha Proshakha,
1990). Into the lives of Sudhindra Bose (De)
and his wife Anila (Shankar) arrives Anila’s
uncle whom she last met 35 years ago. This
stranger, Manomohan Mitra (Dutt), lived
abroad and worked with tribal communities in
various parts of the world. When Sudhindra’s
lawyer, who does not care about tribals,
accuses Mitra of coveting Anila’s inheritance,
Mitra leaves, having donated his share of the
family property to his niece.
