Plot Summary
Echoes of the Rainbow tells a story of an ordinary family living in Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong, from 1967 to 1977, with a struggling father from Guangzhou, an iron-willed mother supporting the family and their kids facing countless challenges from the changing world with an upbeat attitude. In this film, Simon Yam won the best actor award in the recent Hong Kong Film Awards for his role as a dull cobbler, Sandra Ng a sharp-tongued-but-soft-hearted housewife, and Ann Hui, one of the best film directors in Hong Kong, cameo as a kindergarten teacher. Between tears and smiles, their stories touch your heart.

Moved me to tears
I saw this movie on a long-haul flight. Was so embarrassed to be wiping tears away by the end of the movie, hoping the other passengers would not notice. I am not from Hongkong, but this movie made me nostalgic nevertheless for the simpler days of my own youth. The little boy who played the main character is an incredibly good actor! The songs they used were so evocative that I downloaded them immediately and have not stopped playing them since. "Heartwarming" is an overused term, but is especially appropriate for this film. Loved it!
