Satyajit Ray directs this Indian drama exploring the personal conflicts of a man's professional career. Shyamalendu (Barun Chanda) is an ambitious and successful export manager at a British-owned fan manufacturer in Calcutta, with a good chance of being promoted to the company's board of directors. However, the values at the heart of Shyamalendu's lifestyle are brought sharply into question when a visit from his beautiful and principled sister-in-law, Tutul (Sharmila Tagore), coincides with a morally questionable incident at work.
Satyajit Ray's final film is a deceptively simple modern fable about a mysterious and world-weary old man (Utpal Dutt), who comes to stay with a middle-class Calcutta family, claiming to be the wife's long-lost uncle, Manmohan Mitra. Anila (Mamata Shankar), the wife, wants to believe him, but her husband, Sudhindra (Deepankar De), has his doubts. The couple's young son, Satyaki (Bikram Bhattacharya), is enthralled by Manmohan's exotic tales of his magical adventures, which have taken him from New York to the jungles of the Amazon, and pretty much regards the whole thing as a game. As the family and their friends try to figure out who exactly he is, his very presence forces them to reflect on their own lives and identities.
