About Echoes of the Rainbow
Told through the eyes of sticky-fingered eight-year-old boy Big Ears, Echoes of the Rainbow takes place in a close-knit grassroots community in 1960s Hong Kong. Big Ears' mother and father run the neighborhood shoe store, and his older brother Desmond is every family's dream son - an outstanding athlete with grades worthy of Hong Kong's best school.
Directed by Alex Law Kai-Yui, Echoes of the Rainbow leans on a strong ensemble — Simon Yam, Sandra Ng Kwan-Yu, Buzz Chung Shiu-Tiu — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2010.
