He also approaches with Mona. He finds contact with normal life again and is inspired by Mona's preference for the simple and pure things. That distracts him from the wedding preparations. Now he wants to produce a retro album on vinyl with the rockers Vincent and Trudy much more.

Reviews
"Routine (television) comedy about life planning and plans that cannot always be reconciled with reality and the actual needs and desires."
"Lars Becker [...] staged this funny and turbulent fun with a well-known, well-humored cast. [...] "Wrongly wound" is loosely based on the 1991 novel by the writer and literary scholar Regula Venske from Minden, which the screenplay duo Daniel Schwarz and Thomas Schwebel [...] worked with Becker into this lively comedy. "
“Lars Becker [...] shot an extremely humorous romantic comedy, which is about the lifestyle of a generation that doesn't see life as a personal master plan, but as a random playlist of missed or used opportunities. [...] "Wrapped up crookedly" is filled to the brim with such little discoveries, which usually invite you to smile rather than laugh out loud. Lars Becker doesn’t reveal his main characters to superficial gags anyway [...] In the center of a turbulent periphery, the authors of “Wrongly Wrapped” tell their love story as a gentle encounter between two young people who have so far strolled through life without a goal. If you like, you can believe in the magic of love according to the genre. Those who don't make fun of the kitsch and maybe even have more viewing pleasure. "
