Burnt is a reinterpretation of a Japanese legend about the personification of death, the so called Shinigami. It’s about a farmer, whose daughter died recently, who wants to commit suicide to rejoin her in death. He is visited by a shinigami and as the story progresses, he learns that the lifespan of a person shall not be changed. This lesson is taught in a visually intriguing and metaphorical way.
