action
It's Sunday: a little boy is putting a coin on the rails. When the train passed over it, the coin is flat and long. His mother takes him off the rails, puts a tie on him and goes to mass with him. The boy puts the coin in an envelope and puts it in the collection . After the service, the family goes to see the grandparents. The adults talk to each other, like the crows croaking outside. The boy is bored. He sees grandmother beheading a fish for soup that had winked at him before. The bear's head on the wall also makes a lively impression.
The boy leaves the house to put a coin stolen from his grandfather on the rails and sees that the bear has actually only stuck his head into the house through the window and is now stuck. The boy puts the coin on the rail, which shows a Canadian bear on the back. The bear stuck in the house manages to break free. He rushes to the tracks and sits down between the rails, although the boy tries to stop him. The train comes and runs over bears and coins. When the boy picks up the coin, its pattern has changed: It shows the bear trapped in the house from the outside and inside on the front and back. The bear on the coin is dead. The mother fetches the boy and the family goes back home.
