The actors partly improvised their dialogue. Rosemarie DeWitt was cast the day before the shoot began. Rachel Weisz was originally cast to play the character of Hannah, but had to drop out three days before the shoot. The film was shot in 12 days on Fidalgo Island and in the San Juan Islands of Washington state. The trio return to the city, and the final scene has Hannah taking a home pregnancy test with Iris and Jack joining her to see the result, which is not revealed. Over the next day or so, the sisters gradually reconcile, with Iris offering to help Hannah to raise the child should she give birth.Įventually, Jack returns to the cabin and requites Iris's love, also offering to help Hannah to take care of her possible baby. Both Jack and Iris break down crying, and Jack leaves. He reveals to Iris that he was only with Hannah because he can't be with her, which breaks Iris's heart because they could have avoided it all if only they had confessed their feelings towards each other sooner. Later that night, Jack talks to Iris and apologizes. Jack is stunned to hear Iris loves him, and Iris is stunned that Hannah told him. Hannah admits it, but says she would never have slept with Jack if she had known Iris was in love with him. Iris confronts Jack about it, and Jack accuses Hannah of stealing his sperm. Hannah confesses to Iris she slept with Jack. Jack examines the used condom, and finds Hannah had poked holes in it. The next day, Iris mentions that Hannah wants to have a baby. Iris later tells her sister that she's fallen in love with Jack. Iris arrives at the cabin unexpectedly the next morning, and Jack suggests that he and Hannah shouldn't tell her they slept together. They talk and drink together, and end up sleeping together, using Hannah's condom. Upon arrival, he finds Iris's sister Hannah, a lesbian who has recently broken up with her partner and is staying at the cabin without Iris's knowledge. His friend (and his brother's ex-girlfriend) Iris offers to let him stay at her father's isolated island cabin, to restore his spirits. Jack is struggling emotionally a year after the death of his brother. The film premiered on September 11, 2011, at the Toronto International Film Festival, and was released in the United States on June 15, 2012.
