A man follows his nose into a strange and dangerous conspiracy in this offbeat sci-fi comedy/drama from writer and director Kim Nguyen. In the near future, global warming has had an unexpected side effect in Montreal -- while truffles have sometimes been found growing in underground caverns, the higher temperatures have caused them to spread as they never have before. Charles (Roy Dupuis) is a truffle hunter with an unusually keen nose, and he has a remarkable gift for finding the delectable edible fungus. Charles and his wife Alice (Céline Bonnier) make use of his talent by running a small restaurant where connoisseurs can taste the fruit of his labors. But there isn't as much money in finding truffles as Charles would hope, and when his abilities come to the attention to a mysterious fur company, he's willing to accept a lucrative business proposal. But Charles doesn't know just what he's looking for at first, and when he finds out, he discovers he's involved in a nefarious scheme with not just international but interstellar implications. Truffe receives its United States premiere at the 2009 Cinequest Film Festival.
