Miserable Breath Miserable Flesh

Italian Alps, 1630. The arrival of the plague in a small village shatters every fragile balance. The disease takes hold of bodies, homes, and relationships, slowly turning the community into a sick organism ruled by fear and suspicion. Without dialogue, through symbolic images and repeated gestures, the film observes the disintegration of a world in which every bond begins to crack and nature remains indifferent to human suffering. Misero Soffio Misera Carne is a dark and timeless portrait of the fragility of existence and of the violence that emerges when every order begins to collapse.
“Cancervo” is the name of an iconic mountain in the heart of Valle Brembana, a valley rich in traditions and folk legends. In 2020, Luca Galizzi, Francesco Gioia, and Samuel Fontana, three local musicians fascinated by the tale of a creature half dog and half deer said to live on that mountain, formed a power heavy psych trio. Blending Seventies-flavoured heavy riffs with more mystical moments, their aim is to pay tribute to their valley. In 2026, the track “Zambel’s Goat”, the soundtrack to the film Misero Soffio Misera Carne and previously released on the album III, was rearranged and expanded with keyboards by Davide “Fido” Fidanza and vocals by Eléonore Benini.
