Truffles, the riches of the underworld, have clouded the minds of the villagers of an Istrian village. When a master truffle hunter catches the biggest specimen in the world, the frenzy of greed bursts. A story of obsession, and two young people who love each other, and of everyone else who doesn’t.

DIRECTOR’S NOTES:
The story is set in Istria, but I understand it as an allegory. Truffles can be anything: power, money, influence. Through the prism of comedy, we explore what happens when an individual achieves something extraordinary, and how the community reacts to it.
