The Radar read

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

Synopsis

...1949. Baulin, a school principal in a small Moldovan town, is summoned at night to the district party committee. He is tasked with leading a group that is carrying out an action in the area to evict so-called fascist collaborators. We will see only a day in the life of the main character. He walks around the huts, sees people included in the “black lists”, understands that they could not possibly be traitors.

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.
