6 × 30’ | Comedy–Drama | South East London

A raw, funny, emotionally intelligent comedy‑drama about midlife, menopause, and the everyday magic hiding in the chaos.

When lonely, menopausal Jeanie attends her Aunt Beatrice’s funeral, she doesn’t expect to inherit a box of discarded memories — or a sarcastic, centuries-old djinn with opinions. One careless, drunken wish later, her emotionally dependent cat Alan is transformed into a bewildered, half-naked man, and the quiet life she’s been surviving blows apart.

Now Jeanie must navigate supernatural housemates, family intrusions, magical loopholes and the everyday chaos of midlife — all while figuring out what she actually wants from the magic she never asked for. Wishes don’t fix anything. They just force the truth out faster.

Unbottled is a sharp, character-led comedy-drama where domestic realism collides with the absurd — warm but spiky, surreal but emotionally grounded. Beneath the magical misfires and cat-boy disasters is a story about agency, found family, and the strange ways we learn to choose ourselves.
