Judging from the trailer, one of the themes of the movie seems to be a somewhat romanticized vision of Italy in which old men from picturesque villages, wearing vests and rain boots, tromp through the forest with their beloved pets, thinking very little about capitalism or the outside world. Alba white truffles can sell for thousands of dollars, but that seems like a minor concern for these guys, who would rather hang out with their dogs than concern themselves with money. These dogs are the main character of the trailer: In one scene, an especially attentive truffle hunter blow-dries his dog in a pink bathtub, in another a man and his dog lounge happily under a tree. Hence the need for a dog (or sometimes a pig) to track them down and identify the random patch of dirt where they might be hiding. Truffles, technically an underground dwelling fungus, are notoriously difficult to find.
