雪崩王子

故事发生在1988年的夏天，埃尔文（保罗·路德 Paul Rudd 饰）和兰斯（埃米尔·赫斯基 Emile Hirsch 饰）两人既是同事，亦是彼此唯一的陪伴。他们的工作简单而又枯燥，那就是替一条看上去永远都不会有尽头的公路画路标。 　　兰斯习惯了灯红酒绿的热闹生活，一下子置身于寂静的荒野之中，他感到十分抓狂。但埃尔文则恰恰相反，安静的环境和专注的工作给他带来了不少的灵感。每天，他都会给自己远在天边的女友写上一封热情洋溢的信，而他的女友恰恰正是兰斯的姐姐。孤独和寂寞之中，两个男人之间少不了吵吵闹闹，然而，正是这些矛盾给他们日复一日的生活和工作带来了活力和动力。After a rough time working a night shift job in the city, Alvin is spending the summer on a remote two-man public works crew painting lines on newly paved roads through what is a recently wildfire-ravaged region of Texas. He is camping along the way living off the land, even doing so on his days off. He is what he considers a responsible man, earning and sending money to his girlfriend, Madison, a single mother, so that she need not concern herself with anything besides child rearing. The junior second that Alvin hires for his crew is Madison's brother, Lance. Alvin's controlling and judgmental nature comes to the surface in his dealings with more immature and irresponsible Lance, who goes back to the city on the weekends so that he can have "his little man squeezed", something he cannot understand in Alvin being without Madison or any woman for such a long stretch of time. Alvin prefers to stay in the burnt out woods on the weekends as being alone with his thoughts and his chores - many which he considers his life lessons - he believes helps him think more clearly about life. Although their lives are affected by the few people they meet along the way, it is the aftermath of one of Lance's weekends home that will forever change the nature of their relationship and their respective outlooks on life.
