WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

A group of men, all in their seventies and eighties, search for the elusive Alba truffle in Piedmont, Italy. Guided by a secret culture passed down from generation to generation, and the sharp noses of their expertly trained dogs, the men set out to find the truffle in a world that has turned them even more rare…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

No, it’s not a film about evasive chocolate, but rather a funny as well as moving exploration of the men whose grand tradition over centuries has been devastated by the effects of climate change and deforestation.

WHEN’S IT OUT?

FRIDAY 9TH JULY 2021

WHERE CAN I FIND IT?

IN CINEMAS NATIONWIDE
