(2001) dir Alain Chabat | 107 min
Cleopatra, the Queen of Egypt, decides to build a huge, sumptuous palace in the middle of the desert for Julius Caesar, the head of the Roman Empire, to prove the supremacy of her society over his own. If she completes the task within three months, Caesar has to admit in public that the Egyptians are the greatest of all the people in the world.
Cleopatra calls upon the help of Edifis, an enthusiastic, energetic architecht, to help her secure victory. If successful he will be covered in gold, but if not, his fate will be in the hands of hungry crocodiles. The architect enlists the help of his old friend Panoramix, the Druid, who travels to Egypt under the protection of Aterix and Obelix.
However, things aren't going to be so simple. Not only does Caesar intervene to avoid public humiliation, but when Cleopatra's official architecht Amonbofis gets wind of the fact that Edifis has been chosen in favour of him to complete the task, he will do whatever it takes to foil his competitor.
