Synopsis
This short dramatic film about a young boy torn between conflicting loyalties is resolved with humor and wisdom. Sunday, two o'clock, is zero hour for Gaston. He must be in two places at once: performing at a music recital and playing hockey with his teammates. The game is won, and Gaston plays his piece in his hockey outfit. The well-developed script touches on obedience, loyalty, and the art of compromise.

ANDRÉ MÉLANÇON
André Melançon (February 18, 1942) is a Canadian actor, screenwriter and film director, best known for directing and writing several installments in the Tales for All series of children's films.
The versatile André Mélançon – director, writer and actor – set out to become a youth guidance counsellor before he veered into film. His background in psychology and education helped orient his filmmaking toward films about, with, and for children. His first film was on Quebec separatist Charles Gagnon, then at the request of producer Jean Dansereau he directed a trio of short films for children in the early 1970s that confirmed the direction of his career. He turned to acting and won a Canadian Film Award for his performance in Partis pour la gloire.
