Umami Stories: The Devil's Truffle

THE DEVIL’S TRUFFLE follows Luca, a grieving former stage performer called Luce Divina, who retreats to the misty Piedmont forests after his boyfriend dies in a crash the night he was going to propose. Obsessed with recreating their last meal — tajarin al tartufo bianco — he’s drawn to a mysterious truffle hunter, Al, and his eerie pig Aurelia. Al trains him in ancient, brutal rules of the hunt, but Luca’s grief makes him break them. The finest truffles, he learns, grow from buried love and loss: Al’s past students are now pigs, including Bianca, who was Aurelia. When Luca finally digs up the “perfect” truffle beneath his dead boyfriend’s jacket, he’s transformed into a pig himself, forced to lure new hunters for Al. The cycle only risks breaking when a vengeful chef, Sofía, arrives hunting her vanished sister, forcing Luca to choose between feeding her to the forest or staging one last performance of Luce Divina to set them free.
