Satyajit Ray's brief portrait of his father's life. It was a very short life, cut down at age 36 by a tropical disease. In that time he made some significant contributions to the printing industry, and carried on his father's (i.e., Satyajit's grandfather) work on "Sandesh", the children's magazine. The bits we see of Sukumar's writing and art has a whimsical, Carroll-esque quality. The film is well-produced and reasonably interesting, with some more of Satyajit's wonderful score.
