Guilt is a narrative film made as a final assignment for a Vassar film class that explores the anxiety inherent in sexually active women today. When the condom breaks, Mary fears that she might get pregnant, leading to apparitions of Catholic Guilt and Jewish Guilt appearing by her side. This film uses themes of religion and reproductive rights and freedom in conversation with each other through comedic tones.
