Stranger | Suspicion
A well-off Indian family is paid an unexpected, and rather unwanted, visit by a man claiming to be the woman's long lost uncle. The initial suspicion with which they greet the man slowly dissolves as he regales them with stories of his travels, tales that are at odds with their conventional middle class perspective on the world.

This was Satyajit Ray's final film. He was so ill during the production of it that most of it was directed from an oxygen tent.
Based on Ray's own short story "Atithi"
"Ranjan Rakshit: I could see a headline before my eyes: Return of the Prodigal Uncle. Manomohan Mitra: Do you know that prodigal has two meanings, Mr. Rakshit? Ranjan Rakshit: Two meanings? Manomohan Mitra: One is wasteful. And the other is repentant. I'm neither."
"Anila Bose: Why did you leave home? Mother told me everyone loved you. And you were a fine student with a bright future. Manomohan Mitra: But yet why did I leave home? Anila Bose: Yes. Manomohan Mitra: There's a lovely word in German: Wanderlust. It means the irrepressible urge to travel."
