Synopsys:
Four young men from the city spend a vacation together in a remote village. The trip is like a collective sojourn into part of the emotional and cultural past. The men interact with locals, with young women and with local aristocrats - each interaction bringing them a different level of experience. A great film by India's Satyajit Ray. The characters and setting evoke, as noted in Bergan and Karney's The Holt Foreign Film Guide, both Chekhov and Renoir. It is an intellectually challenging and rewarding film, not unlike Erich Rohmer's richly stylized comedies.
