The Twelve Tasks of Asterix

In the third Asterix film, after another victory over Julius Caesar's Romans, the Gauls are mistaken for gods. To prove this assumption correct, Asterix and Obelix must complete twelve tasks. Among other things, they must obtain a permit document from the “The Place that Sends you Mad”, a parody of bureaucracy.
