The story:

In ancient Egypt, Queen Cleopatra makes the bold bet of proving to Julius Caesar that her people are capable of greatness. She entrusts the architect Edifis with the impossible mission of building a sumptuous palace in three months. Threatened with being thrown to the crocodiles in case of failure, Edifis sets off to seek help in Gaul from the druid Getafix.

Accompanied by Asterix and Obelix, Getafix travels to Egypt to support his friend thanks to the famous magic potion. On site, they face the schemes of rival architect Artifis, determined to make the project fail. Between plots, chases and absurd situations, obstacles multiply.

Thanks to their ingenuity, their humour and a bit of magic potion, Asterix and Obelix will help Edifis take up this monumental challenge. In a whirlwind of adventures and cult lines, the palace finally rises from the ground, proving that even the craziest challenges can be met.

The soundtrack:

Philippe Chany, who composed the soundtrack, distinguished himself by composing and producing numerous pieces of music for advertising campaigns, television programs and film projects, developing an eclectic style combining classical orchestration and contemporary influences.

He is notably known to the general public for his participation in the original soundtrack of the film Astérix & Obélix : Mission Cléopâtre (2002), alongside Bruno Coulais, contributing to the dynamic and humorous musical identity of the film.

At the same time, Philippe Chany has collaborated with numerous agencies, brands and audiovisual productions, establishing himself as a recognized figure in the world of music applied to the screen in France.

The costumes:

During the 28e César du cinéma ceremony in 2003, the César for best costumes was awarded to Philippe Guillotel for his remarkable work on the film Astérix & Obélix : Mission Cléopâtre

For this film, Philippe Guillotel imagined and designed hundreds of spectacular costumes, blending references to ancient Egypt, comic book aesthetics and deliberately quirky contemporary touches. His work is distinguished by great visual richness, dazzling colors and a creativity that strongly contributes to the unique and humorous universe of the film.

The outfits of characters like Cleopatra, played by Monica Bellucci, or those of soldiers, craftsmen and courtiers, fully contribute to the visual identity of the feature film. This César thus rewards an audacious and iconic artistic direction, which became one of the key elements of the film's success and cult status.
