More About Film

Deep in the secret forests of Northwest Italy, a handful of men hunt for the rare and expensive white Alba truffle, which has managed to successfully resist all of modern science’s efforts at cultivation. Their blissful harmony with their cherished animals and their picture-perfect land is only disrupted by the high demand for white truffles, as the supply decreases. The film premiered at the 36th Sundance Film Festival and was later picked as an official selection at the 73rd Cannes Film Festival, 47th Telluride Film Festival, and the 45th Toronto Film Festival.
