姝夢無心，理想結伴隨雲去。當記憶完全沒有重量，眼前就只有毒針和虛假的解脫。一對互為心靈夥伴的好友，狀況本如朝早八九點的太陽，何以逐步沉淪毒海，無法自拔，步向難以回頭的無盡黑夜？改編癮君子真實訪談的悲慘故事，令人心碎的不只是主人公的不幸經歷，也關乎性格操控和掏空。迷幻晃動的音聲影蹤裏，密集的情緒在跳躍敘事間爆裂起伏，一再邀請觀眾與角色一起跟虛無親吻。到頭來，墮落不是放棄，而是沉淪的堅持。
冰岛影片《世界尽头的养路工》在2011年意大利图灵国际电影节上摘得最佳影片大奖。该片是短片导演Hafsteinn Gunnar Sigurdsson的长片处女作。两个男人，一个世界尽头了无人烟的地点，它会让你想起发生在北极科考站的《我是如何度过这个夏天》，从头到尾根本没有事情发生。养路工每天重复同样的工作，闲下来就谈谈从前的女友、喜欢的音乐，台词风格类似早期的阿基·考里斯马基。这一切的惨淡无奇与环绕在他们周围的自然景观相互映衬，给人以超现实之感。影片把背景设置在没有手机和网络的上世纪八十年代是剧情需要，复古的音乐也十分带感。
