Synopsis: A truly inspiring story of one ordinary family’s extraordinary journey. An orphaned boy named Tomás is adopted by Maire O’Donnell (Connie Nielsen) to live on a whimsical Irish isle filled with new friends, secret caves and a lost baby pup seal stranded on the coast. But when Maire’s reluctant husband Alec (Aidan Quinn) refuses to accept Tomás as his own son, the boy drifts down a fateful path of adventure and self-discovery, illuminating how rainbows can shine around--and within--us all.

Review: A Shine of Rainbows is a magical tale of discovery.  We journey along with an 8-year old orphaned child as he tries to find acceptance with a new family.  He struggles to find it thanks to the cold shoulder by his would-be new father.  Based on the touching Lillian Beckwith novel, this one is a faithful rendition that is a tear jerker at times, but overall a feel-good drama.
