Storyline
Dear friend, this is Walt, your director. Welcome to the Phocean city! As the star of the movie, the producers and I decided to have you explore your role through the various filming locations.
You play the Queen of Massalia, and your character is on a mission to find her son who was taken away by a mysterious dark figure. You are in disguise, hidden under a scarf and must stay secret. There is already unrest in the city since your husband’s death, some people unwilling to be led by a woman.
Tap into your imagination and take some risks. You'll do great.
