Bottle Episode by Rye Inglis:

A broken door handle leaves a group of 20-somethings trapped in their flat for a weekend. Watch these hilariously varied friends be torn apart and brought back together again in this sitcom-style scenario that perfectly sums up the highs and lows of young love, friendships, and sexual identity.

When one flatmate’s new girlfriend turns out to be the high school ex of another, tensions slowly rise to a burst. With this new group member trapped with the four residents, they will all realise and overcome their issues, concluding their comedic house arrest in heartwarming camaraderie. You can choose your friends, but you can’t always get away from them!
