Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary supplies the following definitions of the word guilt: 1) the fact of having committed a breach of conduct esp. violating law and involving a penalty; broadly: guilty conduct 2a: the state of one who has committed an offense esp. consciously b: feelings of culpability esp. for imagined offenses or from a sense of inadequacy: self-reproach. What the definitions don’t address is the festering psychological fallout from this condition that can result in a loss of self-esteem and possibly derail more than one person’s life. You couldn’t find a better illustration of this than Bedoone Tarikh, Bedoone Emza (English title: No Date, No Signature, 2017), an award-winning drama from Iranian director Vahid Jalilvand.
