The Uninvited

Synopsis

Rose, a former actress turned stay-at-home mom, struggles to reconcile her new life with her past. As she prepares for an important cocktail party hosted by her husband, Sammy, a lost elderly woman named Helen arrives, claiming to live in Rose's house. This unexpected guest disrupts Rose’s evening, adding chaos and hilarity to her attempts to balance domestic duties.
Helen, also a former actress, mirrors Rose’s struggles with aging and lost identity. Alongside Delia, a young ingénue, the women represent different stages of womanhood within Hollywood's societal expectations. Adding to the mix, a movie star who’s also Rose’s ex-lover, and a famous film director attend the party, further complicating the night. The event becomes a stage for unfolding drama, rekindled romances, and revealed secrets.
A poignant and introspective comedic drama exploring female identity, motherhood, and self-discovery in Los Angeles.

A few hours into the shift and Wren is flagging, she enjoys a moment of calm whilst smoking outside - until she is confronted with Cali, who wants a lighter and a chat. The next few nights, sleepless days and awkward interactions blur into each other until Cali greets Wren with a coffee and cigarette for the usual 2am slump. Wren is disgusted when realising Cali has spiked her coffee with brandy. Steph shows Wren how to fillet. Cali rushes to help, standing behind Wren, he places his hands on hers.Wren shrinks down, motionless, allowing Cali to puppeteer her, forcing his groin into her from behind. Wren empties her locker, she’s not coming back. She leaves, only to find Cali waiting for her, unbuckling his belt. Wren waits until his trousers are down, walks over to him, without breaking eye contact and guts Cali like a fish. She makes use of the “Monster Industrial Chum Grinder”, to dismember Cali’s body, discarding the chum into the sea at sunrise. She gracefully enters the sea herself, cleansed.
