Burnt Milk centers around Una (voiced by Tamara Lawrance), an isolated Jamaican woman living in 1985 suburban London, working as a nurse on a maternity ward. As Una takes a moment of solace to make her traditional condensed milk pudding, 'Burnt Milk', she is flooded with spiritual imagery that takes her back to Jamaica. There is an ominous undertone to the past and present colliding, a sinister power to the strong pull of the island and an intensity to the rituals that summon her back in. While she continues to make her simple sweet dish, there is a complex and hypnotic beauty to the duality of the worlds presented.
