A pair of indomitable Gauls travel to ancient Egypt to help a proud queen prove a point to a rival ruler: a grand palace must be built in just three months. With a tight deadline, a desperate architect, and plenty of culture-clash comedy, the mission turns into a fast-moving string of gags and adventures.

About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a breezy, all-ages comedy packed with puns, anachronistic jokes, and a colorful ancient setting; Not for you if you dislike broad humor or rely on perfect subtitles like in A Town Called Panic.
Pros: nonstop gags and puns; bright, cheerful fun; strong comic performances | Cons: jokes lost in translation; thin story for some; a few disturbing moments
