Synopsis:
The fourth feature from Sundance award-winning filmmaker
Lynn Shelton (HUMPDAY), YOUR SISTER'S SISTER is a tale of grief, romance and
sibling rivalry that continues to showcase Shelton's extraordinary ability to
portray human stories with remarkable humor, sensitivity and warmth.
A year after his brother Tom's death, Jack (Duplass) is an
emotionally unstable slacker. When he makes a scene at a memorial party, Tom's
ex-girlfriend Iris (Blunt) offers up her family cabin on an island in the
Pacific Northwest so Jack can seek catharsis in solitude. Once here, however,
he runs into Iris' sister Hannah, a woman reeling from the abrupt end of a
seven-year relationship who finds solace in the affable Tom's unexpected
presence, and the two bond over a long night of drinking. The blurry evening
concludes with an awkward sexual incident made worse by Iris' sudden presence
at the cabin the next morning which sets into motion a twisted tale of
ever-complicated relationships.
With raw, funny and emotional performances from an all-star
cast, Shelton once again honestly explores the complexities of interpersonal
relationships while gently poking fun at her characters' predicaments.
