20 CANS OF CHUNKY BEEF SOUP is the story of Maxim Vakhmin, a veritable alleycat of a man. Revered as both an angel and a devil, Maxim (once known as a successful artist in his native Russia) is losing friends and finding new ones as a homeless person in the USA.

Watch him stealthily steal cans of beer from a deli, sneak into the Chelsea Hotel for a much needed shower, mysteriously survive numerous fatal injuries (there's a crash with a prison bus involved) and enjoy life to the fullest - as the streets of New York put his nine lives to the test.
