A SHINE OF RAINBOWS is a story about the transformational power of love, about finding acceptance, discovering ourselves, and realising that rainbows are all around us – and within us too.
Maire O’Donnell (Connie Nielsen) 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.
