The story begins on the birthday of Asterix and Obelix , when their mothers surprisingly come to visit. Her fathers cannot arrive until later as they still have to work in their stores in Condate . As birthday gifts, Asterix receives a Roman sword and Obelix a Roman helmet with his collection. But Asterix and Obelix soon have certain problems: Obelix's mother only cooks soup for her son because she wants him to lose weight. Asterix's mother is cleaning her son's hut because she wants to invite young neighbors. Just like Obelix's mother, she wants her son to finally marry.

At the same time, the fathers in Condate are kidnapped by the Roman legionnaire Bonusmalus, as they are said to have stolen the equipment for their sons from Centurion Pompey . After an interrogation, they are put in a prison and Pompejus and Bonusmalus come up with a plan to get the stolen things back. They dress up the actress Latraviata as Falbala, Obelix's secret love.

Meanwhile, the birthday is being celebrated in the village when Latraviata and Visacardus arrive in the village. It acts as if it has forgotten everything except for the name "Obelix". Everyone in the village has doubts about the story, but still believes the comedienne in disguise. She manages to talk Obelix off the previously given helmet, but is then stopped by Asterix. He wants to travel to Tragicomix, the man of the real Falbala, because he already suspects Latraviata's deception. This leads to a dispute between Asterix and Obelix. This ends with Obelix beating Asterix and "Falbala" getting mad at Obelix. Obelix then sadly withdraws. The Druid Getafix, however, tried to prop up Asterix with a magic potion. However, Asterix goes crazy, after which he beats Obelix, kisses the falbala double and then races across the sea and then violently bumps into a rock and remains unconscious. Meanwhile, Idefix is sneaking away with a bitch.

Asterix wakes up - regained her senses - on the rock just as the tide is rising. Fortunately, he is rescued by a dolphin. After regaining his strength in the Miraculix hut, he is reconciled with Obelix. At the same time, the real Falbala in Condate notices that the house of the fathers Astronomix and Obelodalix has been broken into and heads for the village with her husband. Meanwhile, Latraviata and Visacardus want to return to Condate. Asterix and Obelix ask if they can come with me. Obelix finds it difficult to leave because he cannot find Idefix. On the way they see two Roman patrols fighting each other in the civil war: One of them belongs to Caesar, the other reports to Pompey. Asterix and Obelix use the favor and beat down both scouting parties. Latraviata and Visacardus take this opportunity to sneak away. However, they don't get very far as they encounter the real Falbala and Tragicomix in the middle of the way. Thereupon man against man and woman against woman argue, whereby the real Falbala notices that her double is wearing a wig. This finally admits that she is Latraviata. Visacardus tries to flee, but is stopped by Obelix's menhir. Asterix and Obelix then learn that their fathers are in jail.

After the heroes have freed their fathers and put down bonus penalties and his guards, Caesar rides by. Asterix delivers this bonus penalty and Obelix hands him Pompejus. As a reward, Caesar gives Asterix a statue of himself in gold. However, the latter passes it on to Latraviata, since he thinks that she deserves the golden Caesar.

At the end of the story, the fathers of Asterix and Obelix rebuild their shop with them and Tragicomix, and Asterix and Obelix return to the village, where a festival of the return is celebrated. Idefix returns with a family.

Remarks

The Golden Caesar Prize is a parody of the French César film prize . This volume is the first time that the parents of Asterix and Obelix have a "public" appearance (so far they have only appeared in the special volume How Obelix fell into the magic potion as a small child ). This comic also marks the first and so far only time that Obelix beats his friend Asterix. Asterix and Obelix have their birthday here on the same day; on the other hand, in the band Obelix GmbH & Co. KG and in the film Asterix and Obelix against Caesar , their birthday is on different days. On the other hand, at 35 years before Julius Caesar, it means again that they were born on the same day, also in the band Asterix & Obelix celebrate their birthdays . In addition, this band primarily serves the interest of fans in Falbala. More than just its story, the album caused a sensation in the German-speaking countries with its idiosyncratic translation, which tried to tie in with the daily news of the language that has always been common in France, but was often perceived as exaggerated in the German-speaking area (examples: ICE = I rrrfahrten & C haos e xpress; BSE = B izarres S alluvial e lend).

La traviata is an opera by Giuseppe Verdi based on a libretto by Francesco Maria Piave . In this volume she is a Roman actress.
