Summary: In keeping with their Sunday tradition, after mass a family flocks to grandma and grandpa's house, where the chaotic discussion soon begins to resemble a raucous gathering of crows on power lines. The local factory has shut its doors and, naturally, the adults can't stop fretting about their money woes. On this particular grey Sunday, a young boy drops a coin on some nearby train tracks out of sheer boredom. Picking the coin up after a train has run over it, he discovers to his astonishment that an amazing transformation has taken place... Sunday, Patrick Doyon's first film, is a magical tale that imparts important lessons about life as seen through the eyes of a child. .
