This film is a sequel to The Offspring (2009).
Several aspects of the film were left on the cutting room floor, most notably an entire subplot concerning Peg's psychological state and her sexuality, including a sexual relationship between her and her teacher.
The novel written in conjunction with the movie has many interesting extra facts about the story and the characters. In the film, it's clear the Woman can see that Peggy is pregnant and even says "Bahbee" in broken English. The book says that she knew this from the beginning and, when addressing Peggy and her mother to ask for help in Gaelic the first time she saw them, the book confirms that she said, "Will you help me, mothers?"
The book 'The Woman' will be released to coincide with the film.
Alexa Marcigliano's debut.
