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.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A nostalgic, gently humorous portrait of a working-class Hong Kong family in the 1960s, filtered through a child's wondering eyes. It's a film about ordinary people and small moments that accumulate into a life.
