Wrong

Synopsis

In 'Wrong,' director Quentin Dupieux crafts a surreal comedy that follows the strange misadventures of Dolph Springer, played by Jack Plotnick, who wakes up one morning to find that his beloved dog, Paul, has vanished without a trace. As Dolph embarks on a bizarre quest to recover his pet, he encounters a series of eccentric characters that lead him down a rabbit hole of absurdity. From an inexplicable mysterious neighbor to a dubious pizza delivery man, each interaction spirals into increasingly strange and comical situations.
