The Strongest Man (DVD)

A funny, offbeat portrait of Miami, The Strongest Man follows Beef (Robert Lorie), an anxiety-ridden Cuban construction worker, and his Korean friend Conan (Paul Chamberlain), as their lives get bumped off track the moment they agree to attend a spiritual meditation class. Not fully understanding the teachings, Beef and Conan embark on a journey to find their respective power animals on the streets of Miami, where both wild dogs and chickens run rampant. Conan's relationship with his family crumbles, as Beef's relationship with his neighbor, a young woman named Illi (Ashley Burch), begins to flourish, but even with this excitement he can never seem to escape his looming anxiety.
