Unfortunately, this plan gets intensely disrupted when a casual meal at a restaurant is disrupted by a scare involving a purposefully-orchestrated avalanche.
If you’re familiar with the plot of Downhill – which is based on the 2014 movie Force Majeure – you’ll already see the connections.
In the film, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Will Ferrell play Billie and Pete, who are long-married parents of twins hoping for a chance to reconnect during a European ski vacation.
Everyone winds up being totally fine, but what’s not seen as okay is that Pete’s response to the situation is to grab his phone and sprint away from his family.
