Who Loves the Sun is a 2006 Canadian film directed and written by Matt Bissonnette and starring Lukas Haas, Molly Parker, Adam Scott, R.H. Thomson, and Wendy Crewson.[1]
Will Morrison (Lukas Haas) and Daniel Bloom (Adam Scott) were best friends. Daniel was Will's best man at his wedding to Maggie Claire (Molly Parker). Then one day Will disappeared without a word. Five years later, he resurfaces.When Will and Daniel meet again, they go together to the docks to pick up Maggie, who slaps Will the minute she sees him.
Apparently, five years ago, Will walked in on Daniel and Maggie having sex, which Maggie said later was a one time thing. His sudden disappearance without any explanation upset her and now she demands an explanation. Will finally apologizes for that.
Daniel kisses Maggie and hopes to rekindle things with her. He had kept writing her throughout the many years of Will's absence with no response. Maggie refuses him, tells him it had been a great mistake. He spends the rest of the night drinking, having a conversation with his mom before she goes to bed. Very early the next morning, Daniel and his dad go fishing, where his dad inadvertently tells him that his mom's affair produced him. After Daniel confronts his mom, she tells him that it was with Will's dad, also finally explaining why Will's dad disappeared. Overwhelmed, with both having a different father and Will as his half-brother, disappears.
All four spend time looking for Daniel, eventually deciding to wait for him to show himself. Maggie and Will finally have some time alone, say they love one another, spend the night together and she sneaks off and away early the next morning. Daniel catches her as she's leaving, and she asks him to give Will an explanation. He, very generously, encourages him to reconnect with her and try to start over. The final scene is of the two boys having breakfast with Daniel's parents, as a family.
The film was shot in the Canadian Shield.
