Why See This Film
Trifole is a touching story about intergenerational connection, tradition and the passing down of knowledge. Lead Ydalie Turk co-wrote the screenplay with director Gabriele Fabbro, drawing on the folklore of Piedmont—a region rich in ghosts and forest spirits—to craft a tale where unscrupulous truffle dealers come up against the Cosmic-agrarian uncanny.
