Calcutta, 1879: Charu (Madhabi Mukherjee), the gifted wife of Bhupati, is lonely in their large house while he is absorbed in his political newspaper. Bhupati's young cousin Amal (Soumitra Chatterjee), a would-be poet, arrives to help with the paper, encourages her writing, and a bond grows between them; after Charu's brother steals from Bhupati and Amal leaves, the couple's reconciliation is left unresolved in a closing freeze frame. Adapted from Rabindranath Tagore's novella The Broken Nest, the film won the Silver Bear for Best Director at Berlin in 1965, and Ray called it his favourite of his films.
