  We study the dynamical behavior of a one dimensional interface interacting
with a sticky unpenetrable substrate or wall. The interface is subject to two
effects going in opposite directions. Contact between the interface and the
substrate are given an energetic bonus while an external force with constant
intensity pulls the interface away from the wall. Our interface is modeled by
the graph of a one-dimensional nearest-neighbor path on $\mathbb{Z}_+$,
starting at $0$ and ending at $0$ after $2N$ steps, the wall corresponding to
level-zero the horizontal axis. At equilibrium each path
$\xi=(\xi_x)_{x=0}^{2N}$, is given a probability proportional to
$\lambda^{H(\xi)} \exp(\frac{\sigma}{N}A(\xi))$, where $H(\xi):=\#\{x \ :
\xi_x=0\}$ and $A(\xi)$ is the area enclosed between the path $\xi$ and the
$x$-axis. We then consider the classical heat-bath dynamics which equilibrates
the value of each $\xi_x$ at a constant rate via corner-flip.
  Investigating the statics of the model, we derive the full phase diagram in
$\lambda$ and $\sigma$ of this model, and identify the critical line which
separates a localized phase where the pinning force sticks the interface to the
wall and a delocalized one, for which the external force stabilizes $\xi$
around a deterministic shape at a macroscopic distance of the wall. On the
dynamical side, we identify a second critical line, which separates a rapidly
mixing phase (for which the system mixes in polynomial time) to a slow phase
where the mixing time grows exponentially. In this slowly mixing regime we
obtain a sharp estimate of the mixing time on the $\log$ scale, and provide
evidences of a metastable behavior.
