Roy and Céline help Kim Nguyen to publicise Truffe	Synopsis Since the onset of global warming (the film is set in 2017), underground stores of black truffles are growing all over the popular district of Hochelaga-Maisonneuve. Alice and Charles Tremblay (Céline and Roy), owners of a diner, try to make ends meet by taking advantage of this new-found gold rush. For a time the locals are delighted with their new wealth, but what they don't know is that a disturbing company of mysterious origins has set up their head office in the neighbourhood. Their objective: to control the global production of black truffles... Truffe delves into one of the facets of our society - overconsumption. RDO Articles from the Library

	Verdict? Film buffs appreciate the craftsmanship behind this kitsch, tongue-in-cheek, multi-genre homage to '50s B movies, but think the plot is too slight to justify a 75 minute run time. Those who don't 'get it' really don't get it.
