An Odyssey (2001–2004), inspired by Abdelaziz Belkhodja’s novel, The Ashes of Carthage, and considered Tunisia’s first film in the thriller genre, offers a critical perspective on transnational trafficking in art and cultural objects. The events revolve around smuggling antiquities and artifacts in Tunisia, where an international gang seeks to steal the statue of the famous commander Hannibal and smuggle it via the Carthage ship to a European country.
