Premise

To prevent her grandfather, an ill Italian truffle hunter, from eviction, Dalia, a modern and lost young woman, journeys to hunt the biggest truffle ever found. [4]

Production

The film is produced by TrifoleMovie in association with Cinefonie and is distributed in Italy by Officine UBU. [5] [1]

The work was created with the contribution of the PR FESR Piemonte 2021-2027 - "Piemonte Film TV Fund" call and with the support of the Film Commission Torino Piemonte. [6] It is the 2nd feature film of Gabriele Fabbro, son of the producer Massimo Fabbro. It was shot in Italy’s Piedmont region on a shoestring budget of €1.4 million or US$1.6 million. It is inspired by the director’s passion for white truffle and its connection with terroir and tradition. Principal photography ran for four weeks in November and December 2023. [1]

Music

The score comprises classical works by Ottorino Respighi, Sergei Rachmaninoff and Gioacchino Rossini, among others. [1]

Release

The film has been screened at Palm Springs International Film Festival, Santa Barbara International Film Festival, Miami Film Festival, Sonoma International Film Festival and Phoenix Film Festival, which has then led to Cohen Media Group acquiring U.S. distribution rights, after Io capitano. [1]

Reception

RogerEbert.com's Sheila O'Malley gave 3 out of 4 stars and explained the movie takes place in the same region as The Truffle Hunters. [7]
