'Salambó' Summary
En el corazón de la antigua Cartago, durante la Guerra de los Mercenarios, la historia de amor entre Salambó, hija del general Amílcar, y Matho, líder de los mercenarios, se desarrolla en un escenario de violencia y caos. La trama gira en torno al robo del zaïmph, un velo sagrado que envuelve a la diosa Tanit y representa la protección de la ciudad.
