■ Primary Axis

  • Entry: Poverty as moral pressure

     Reason: The mother becomes the axis that holds family, land, and community together

  • Core: Justice above blood
     Reason: The final ethical demand places communal law above maternal attachment

■ Secondary Axes

     Related Film: Pather Panchali
  • Son as rupture: Family continuity collapses when suffering mutates into rebellion against order
