The Age of Guilt and Forgiveness is an attempt to look at history, particularly the burden of history in the context of contemporary Japan’s position, seventy years after the end of WWII. Mainly shot in the city of Hiroshima, this film stages a conversation between two lovers to comment on Japan’s twentieth-century history and the country’s role within a changed geopolitical situation. It also addresses the question of guilt̶personal guilt and collective of the present and the past̶and the notion of forgiving in a relationship, national history, and personal history.
