Echoes Of The Rainbow

                          Echoes of the Rainbow tells a story of an ordinary family are 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.

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.
