THE animated film Luck, which began streaming on AppleTV last month, is about Samantha Greenfield, or Sam (voiced by Eva Noblezada ) a girl who grows up in an orphanage, The Coleman House. Sadly, Sam has yet to be fostered, or taken in by a forever family.
Sam constantly has bad luck. When she turns 18, she has to leave the orphanage to live on her own, but she is not ready to do so. Hazel, (Adelynn Spoon), a young orphan with whom Sam is close, often wishes Sam would find a lucky penny as it brings good luck.
On the first day in her own apartment, Sam gets up late, gets locked in her bathroom, her toasters do not work, and everything goes wrong from the time she leaves the house, all the way to her work place.
After work, she visits Hazel to learn that her adoptive parents never showed up. Sam knows that it is hard to find families, especially for older children.
While still going through a run of bad luck, Sam shares a piece of bread with a hungry black cat on the street, and talks to the cat about her own problems. After a while, the cat runs away, but Sam finds a lucky penny on the ground, and her luck changes almost immediately.
