Truffel Liefde plot

The 'black diamond' is the magical center of a unique world inhabited by very diverse people. From poacher and hunter to breeder and chef. All have the same deep passion for the black truffle. For some it is a way to be part of nature, for others a culinary gold mine, but it is clear that it enraptures everyone. There is full surrender and total dedication. They kneel before the truffle, often literally in the field to dig the truffle and in worship on the pews. The truffle is a mystery and, as in love, is therefore cherished and idolized. But if we are not careful, this special fungus will disappear from our earth for good due to global warming. Are we able to let go of this amour fou and take only what the earth gives us?
