This Oscar®-nominated animated short is a magical tale about life as seen through the eyes of a child. 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.

Ce court métrage d'animation, sélectionné aux Oscars et aux Prix Annie 2012, raconte l'histoire d'un jeune garçon qui, pour chasser son ennui du dimanche, place des pièces de monnaie sous le passage du train. Son expérience prendra toutefois une étonnante tournure. Adoptant le point de vue de l’enfant, Dimanche de Patrick Doyon est un dessin animé aux traits naïfs, un clin d’œil amusant sur la façon de briser la monotonie de ces dimanches gris.
