Lot in Sodom is a short silent experimental film, based on the Biblical tale of the city of Sodom and Gomorrah.


The movie uses experimental techniques, Avant-Garde imagery and strong allusions to sexuality, especially homosexuality.


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 the flames; Lot's wife is turned to a pillar of salt for having looked back.


All intertitles are quotes from the Bible.
