Υπόθεση:

Tomas is a sweet boy who has spent years in a gloomy orphanage. One day, the lovely Maire O’Donnell plucks Tomas from his bleak surroundings and brings him to beautiful Corrie Island, Ireland. Enlivened by his new surroundings, Tomas gains confidence and makes friends with people and animals alike. But just when he begins to settle in, Tomas is presented with a challenge that has him calling on Maire’s greatest gifts to overcome loss and find love. This inspirational story celebrates the power of love and the joys of finding the rainbows that follow the storm.
Set in a small village on wind-swept Corrie Island, just off the coast of Ireland, A Shine of Rainbows, is a heart-warming film that follows an orphan’s struggle to find acceptance and belonging in his new home.
Shy and picked on by the other boys in the orphanage, eight-year-old Tomás can’t believe that the warm and beautiful Maire O’Donnell has chosen to adopt him, of all the children. Before he knows it, he is in Maire’s care, sailing over the open water toward a new life. But Tomás’s optimism about a better future begins to wane when he meets Alec, Maire’s husband. Alec can’t hide his disappointment that Tomás isn’t the kind of child he was hoping for, and his reticence to get to know Tomás leaves the boy wondering why this or any other family would want to adopt him.
Undeterred by her husband’s reserve, Maire introduces Tomás to the wonders of his new world and makes it clear that he is exactly the right child for the family. Through her love and encouragement, Tomás’s self-confidence grows; consequently, he finds himself making friends, adjusting to his new home and even rescuing an orphaned seal pup that he learns to care for. However, in order for the adoption to be official, Alec’s signature is required, a commitment he seems unwilling to make. Worried about being sent away, Tomás faces his greatest challenge as he tries to find a way to change Alec’s mind.
