Before you choose
What kind of time-travel story is this?
Time travel drives much of the story.
Meets the archive’s time-travel criteria. The mechanism is classified as Mechanical.
Why the archive makes this assessment (spoilers)
Confirmed 8/10: in dystopian 2030 Warsaw, amnesiac Adam finds a radio that plays 1950s broadcasts and makes time travel possible, and solving that mystery while romancing Goria drives the film. Reviews note loose ends, but the temporal link between eras is central throughout.
A radio device enables travel to the past; this is more than memory recollection.

How Titan works
Titan combines the archive’s quality, audience and legacy base with the significance of time travel. It is an index, not a score out of 100, and is distinct from the FMV archive’s scoring model.
Titan = base × [0.20 + 0.80 × (time-travel score ÷ 10)²]
This film: 34.92 base × 71.2% weighting.
Partial inputs flag incomplete source metadata. Provisional weighting flags a time-travel assessment that remains uncertain; it receives no additional confidence penalty.
