The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

During the Balkan Wars, Vivika Zaharouli, sick and tired of the goings-on of her womanizer husband, welcomes in Athens her godchild, who comes to live in their house. She doesn't know, however, that this is not her godchild but an impostor, Petros Harmidis, who took the other's place because he is in love with her. One day, she is visited by a classmate of hers from their old girl's school, Kiki, who is Harmidis' wife. Kiki asks her to intervene in the transfer of her husband from the front, but one misunderstanding leads to another...

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
