Closed Viewing - Please Do Not Share
“Guilt is good at chess and at arguments. Guilt is always polished, in a black dress with a calculated neckline and heels”: What would Guilt look like if she took on physical form? Guilt’s Orgasm is a gothic, AI-animated short film that personifies guilt as a sensual, manipulative woman who resides in a crumbling mansion and plays endless psychological games with a young man trapped in her service. Inspired by S.Y. Agnon’s The Lady and the Peddler, the film blurs the line between reality and projection.
By using artificial intelligence to animate the inner world of shame and desire, the film pushes the boundaries of machine-generated art to explore one of the most intimate and painful human emotions. At once a gothic AI hallucination and a meditation on inner torment, Guilt’s Orgasm gives terrifying shape to the voice we all know - the one that never lets us go.
The AI fable is questioning whether Guilt is an external force or a creation of the mind. Through dreamlike imagery and dark poetic narration, the protagonist struggles to satisfy, outwit, or escape her, only to realize she may have always been part of him. Created entirely with AI tools, the film explores how technology can reflect the complexity of human emotion and serve as a mirror to our inner world.

The plot advances as the young man gradually awakens to the false promises of Guilt, who constantly convinces him that if he just listens to her cruel words and sweet lies, he will finally succeed in life. As the story progresses, he realizes he can never beat her at chess, and that she will always be one step ahead. He comes to understand that despite her calm, composed, and confident façade, Guilt has no real agenda. She is, in fact, an opportunistic player who will always find a way to accuse him of not being “enough”-whether he works too little or too much, rests or doesn’t rest, grows spiritually or personally-she will always come out on top.
“Guilt’s Orgasm” offers an allegorical, gothic, and haunting exploration of one of the most persistent emotions in human experience, and invites viewers to consider a new perspective on the suffering it brings.
“Guilt’s Orgasm” is not just a film about the paralyzing power of guilt, but a technological experiment exploring the boundaries of human creativity in the age of AI. Using cutting-edge tools for animation, voice, and image, the film blurs the line between artistic control and algorithmic autonomy.

Explanation about tools:
AI took Guilt’s Orgasm from an idea in my head to a fully realized film I made solo-no big crew, no giant budget. I used Leonardo.ai for all the visual design, LumaLabs.ai to bring those images to life with motion, and 11Labs.ai to create intense, expressive voiceovers. The soundtrack was crafted with Udio.ai, giving the film its dark, cinematic feel. Even the writing process was powered by ChatGPT, helping me refine prompts, shape the story, and dive deeper into the emotion behind every scene.
Without these tools, a film like this would've taken years and a whole team to pull off. With them, I built a bold, surreal, AI-crafted world-by myself. Total game changer.

Director’s Statement - Guilt's Orgasm
Guilt has always played a central role in my life. The idea for “Guilt's Orgasm” was born when I tried to imagine what guilt would look like if it took on physical form - a dark, seductive, and sophisticated woman who owns a decaying mansion, plays chess, and whispers promises.
Since childhood, perhaps due to the strict Soviet upbringing I experienced, I’ve felt guilty about even the smallest things. If I didn’t finish the food my mother left for me, came home late from seeing friends, or made noise too late at night, she would yell and make me feel ashamed. Over the years, her voice became internalized - a persistent inner critic, reminding me that I was never enough. Whether I slept too much, worked too little (or too much), ate unhealthily, arrived late, or simply tried to rest - guilt was always there, waiting.
In recent years, as part of my personal and spiritual journey, I’ve been trying to let go of this guilt. To banish her from the mansion of my mind, I had to give her a face. That’s how the character of Guilt was born - an older, sensual, gothic woman who constantly accuses me, yet seduces me with sweet promises that my life will be better if I just follow her lead.
The idea of guilt as a gothic woman naturally connected for me with the figure of Helene, the mysterious mistress from S.Y. Agnon’s short story “The Lady and the Peddler”. I decided to draw inspiration from that story - and connect it to the assimilation of human consciousness into the house of guilt, and the way we follow her empty promises deeper into the maze.
My approach to animation embraces experimentation - using dynamic camera movements, such as zooming in and out, to pull the viewer into the film’s unsettling, dreamlike world. These movements are not merely aesthetic choices - they’re narrative tools that emphasize the surreal and symbolic aspects of the story.
In creating Guilt’s Orgasm, I made a deliberate choice to give the protagonist my own face. Since the story reflects my personal journey and emotional battle with guilt, it felt natural-and necessary-to embody it directly. Thanks to the new possibilities offered by AI technology, where any character can wear any face, I was able to merge my inner world with the film’s outer narrative. This decision deepened the film’s emotional authenticity, blurring the lines between creator and creation, memory and imagination.
