The French call it "Le tonnerre de Jupiter " (The Thunder of Jupiter), but the character herein uses his Greek name, Zeus. It appears on a representation of the sun, as the film opens. Zeus is the leader of all Gods and also the God of Thunder. He appears to have put on weight, and has trouble getting his thunder to work. If intentional, this is a good bit of characterization. A man appears and dances, but Zeus still can't summon thunder. Next, Zeus conjures up some women. They sing and dance. Special effects fire appears. More dancers appear. The narrative suffers near the end. It's possible some of the film is lost.
