Burnt Milk centers around a monologue by Una (voiced by Tamara Lawrance), an isolated young Jamaican woman, who has been sent to the UK as part of the Windrush generation. 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 darkness and hypnotic beauty to the duality of the worlds presented.

Presented by director Joseph Douglas Elmhirst, produced by Ruby Elmhirst and with words by Miss Ronnie (an excerpt from her inaugural novel Burnt Milk); the ten minute piece is an intergenerational artistic reflection on essence, spiritual depravity and the notion of home. Burnt Milk connects the power of loss and the pain of isolation with the need for private ritual as a means of cultural survival and personal evolution for the diaspora community.
