How do we understand cult cinema and which films shaped the term in Greece? "Latreia" explores the cult phenomenon mainly through: "Tsiou" by Makis Papadimitratou, "Spirtokouto" by Yannis Oikonomidis, "Let the Women Wait" by Stavros Tsioulis and the episode "Vietnam" from "Everything is a Road" by Pantelis Voulgaris, gathering testimonies from creators and contributors, as well as people from the journalistic and artistic world.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Greek 'cult' cinema emerged post-junta as deliberate middle-finger to respectable national cinema—this doc traces that lineage through directors who'd rather be hated than ignored.
Miras spent seven years securing rights to 'Spirtokouto' clips; Oikonomidis initially refused, calling documentaries 'cemetery architecture for living films.'
