Storyline


The story is much closer to the tale than other films like Sodom and Gomorrah.

Sodom is a place of sin. An angel appears there and he is welcomed by Lot. The people of Sodom want to have sex with him. Lot refuses; then the angel tells him to escape the city with his wife and daughter. Sodom is then destroyed by flames; Lot's wife is turned to a pillar of salt for having looked back.

All intertitles are quotes from the Bible.
