Canada/Ireland (2009) 101 min.

Maire O’Donnell is a loving woman as rare as a double rainbow. Joyful, warm and caring, she adopts a young orphan named Tomas and whisks him off to a new home on remote Corrie Island, off the coast of Ireland. Maire shares with Tomas the joys of her island home and introduces him to the whimsical local folklore, including the secret of the seals, and teaches him that everything you need is inside of you if you really look.

But Maire’s stern husband Alec silently disapproves of Tomas’ timidity and halting speech. He can’t hide his disappointment that Tomas isn’t the kind of child he was hoping for, and his reluctance to get to know the boy makes Tomas unsure of whether he really belongs.

When tragedy strikes, however, Tomas is faced with his greatest challenge yet. He’ll lose everything unless he can find and share the unique gifts inside of him. Risking all, Tomas embarks on a perilous journey where he will need to call on his ability to see joy and color, even when in the darkest place, in order to triumph and come home.

A Shine Of Rainbows is a story about the transformational power of love, about finding acceptance, discovering ourselves and realizing that rainbows are all around us and within us too.
