Cinedigm and Drafthouse Films are bringing writer/director Sean Mullin's Amira & Sam to Blu-ray. The films stars Martin Starr, Dina Shihabi, Paul Wesley and Laith Naklil, and arrives on Blu-ray/Digital HD combo pack on May 5th.
Official Synopsis: To help adjust to coming home from war, Sam Seneca (Starr), a former Green Beret, takes a stab at a life-long dream: stand-up comedy. He also lands a high-paying job working for a Wall Street firm, run by his cousin Charlie (Wesley). Amira (Shihabi) fled Iraq after her brother was killed by U.S. soldiers. She's an illegal immigrant, living with her uncle Bassam (Naklil), who was Sam's interpreter.
Amira has a run-in with the police, so Sam takes her under his wing. Despite their differences, Sam and Amira share a common bond as outsiders. The more time they spend together, the harder it is for them to combat their feelings for one another. Meanwhile, Sam becomes entangled in Charlie's investment scheme and Amira's trouble with the law escalates to the brink of deportation. As the film builds to a climax, Sam has an epiphany: in order to save Amira from being deported, he's forced to risk everything he fought so hard to defend.
The Blu-ray release of Amira & Sam is presented in 1080p with DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround. Drafthouse Films has yet to detail special features.
