A young woman with Italian roots, Dalia, is beckoned from her home in London to visit her ailing truffle hunter grandfather, Igor (veteran screen actor Umberto Orsini). Igor now seems unable to look after himself and Dalia fears the worst. She soon discovers there’s much more to her fragile grandfather, his situation, or the bucolic landscapes than she anticipated. The breathtaking autumnal countryside and a notable great performance by the truffle dog, Birba, soon enchants and draws us into a deeper, more complex story.
It is a gentle, warm-hearted film with a few touches of the fairytale.
Trifole’s disarmingly genuine nature has connected with festival audiences worldwide.
Trifole is the must-see film for fans of truffles, Italy and cute dogs
