2021 Oscar shortlist for Best Documentary
Deep in the forests of Piedmont, Italy, a handful of men, seventy or eighty years young, hunt for the rare and expensive white Alba truffle—which to date has resisted all of modern science’s efforts at cultivation. They’re guided by a secret culture and training passed down through generations, as well as by the noses of their cherished and expertly-trained dogs.
They live a simpler, slower way of life, in harmony with their loyal animals and their picture-perfect land, seemingly straight out of a fairy tale. These ageing men may just hold something much more valuable than even this prized delicacy: the secret to a rich and meaningful life.
“This endearing, thoroughly entertaining movie might be what we all need right now: An invitation to stop and smell the roses – or, if you’re lucky, their far less showy fungal cousins.” – Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
“It’s a film to leave you with a smile on your face.” – Peter Bradshaw, Guardian
“See this wonderful-looking documentary on a big cinema screen if you possibly can.” – David Stratton, The Australian
