Pather Panchali talks about the beautiful relationship of two siblings and their hardships in life with and without each other. The family of four that had been living with what meager resources they had, the two siblings even in those shortcomings found a way to find happiness in little things in life. But life is uncertain, joys are short-lived, and life, like time has to go on, it did, only it couldn't be called life.
