The Truffle Hunters (12A)

Alba white truffles grow deep in the forests of Piedmont, Italy, for a few months of the year and have stubbornly resisted modern science's efforts at cultivation. Demand for the prized delicacy increases year on year but supply decreases. This documentary meets a group of men, 70 to 80 years young, who call upon training passed down through generations to hunt the rare white Alba truffle with their dogs. They jealously guard the secrets of this practice.
