the contessa, the mapmaker or the widow – and Loren Niemi tells from there. At the half way point, three of the four are in Fata Morgana (literally the term refers to a kind of desert mirage) and the audience chooses who will leave, which in turn determines which of five possible endings the story will arrive at.
