'maybe film' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'exotic vale route greece's first?' is the wordplay.
'exotic' indicates an anagram (an unusual form of the letters).
'greece's first?' becomes 'g' (1st letter of 'greece').
'vale'+'route'+'g'='valerouteg'
'valerouteg' is an anagram of 'TRAVELOGUE'.

Can you help me to learn more?
