“Trifole” tells the story of Dalia, a young woman looking for her own path, who reconnects with her ailing truffle-hunting grandfather, Igor, and nature. Regarding the writing process, Turk said: “I was interested in exploring the monetary and emotional value of the legacy and identity of truffle-hunting as a profession, but also of an entire territory that is very often associated with the white truffle. When I discovered the intensity and passion of these truffle-hunters, I was enchanted.”She added: “I hope the movie resonates with young people. We're facing a lot of existential uncertainty and it results in disillusionment.
