action
Dolph Springer wakes up one morning to find that his dog has disappeared. At the same time, his gardener Victor tells him that Dolph's palm has turned into a fir tree. Dolph is still on the phone with Emma, an employee of a pizzeria, to discuss the meaning of the pizzeria company logo with her and then drive to work.
In his office, where it rains continuously, he is not very welcome because he was fired weeks ago. After a brief argument with his (former) colleagues, he goes home to find a free pizza from Emma, which he throws away. Victor, the gardener, takes the pizza out of the trash and finds a message in the box from Emma, which tells him (actually Dolph) that she has fallen in love with his voice and wants to sleep with him. Victor calls Emma and pretends to be Dolph to spend the night with her. Emma is so excited about this night of love that she tells Victor that she is leaving her husband for him.
Meanwhile, the mysterious Master Chang contacts Dolph to inform him that Chang's company had kidnapped the dog and that he had escaped. However, he sends him a private investigator to find the dog. However, he is more interested in the excrement than in a photo of the dog. Meanwhile, Emma moves in with Dolph, ignoring the fact that he obviously doesn't look like Victor. Dolph makes telepathic contact with his dog with the help of a book by Master Chang, but is repeatedly disturbed by Emma, who is making herself comfortable at his home. Victor, who swaps the fir tree for a palm, tells Dolph that Master Chang wants to see him and dies a short time later of heart failure. Dolph falls out with Master Chang because he does not want to adopt a child that Chang has kidnapped from another customer. Meanwhile, Victor meets Emma at Dolph's house, who is now pregnant by him. While the two are arguing about the child's name, she suddenly goes into labor and tells Victor to take her to the beach because she wants to give birth there. On the beach, Victor kills Emma in front of the suddenly grown-up son. Terrified, Victor wakes up in a glass coffin to find that it was all just a dream and that he is about to be buried.
At the same time, Dolph meets with the private detective, who has meanwhile connected the dog's excrement to a television monitor in order to project the memory of the heap of excrement onto the screen. You can see how the dog is kidnapped by Master Chang's company. When Dolph tells the detective that he already knows, he is beaten up by the detective. Dolph drags himself home injured to meet his dog on the way home, who is getting off a bus. The scene is observed by Master Chang, who predicted it exactly like this in a dream.

Reviews
"With Wrong , Quentin Dupieux has succeeded in creating another shrill, fascinating gem, which, with its lack of dramaturgical polish, will surely scare off one or the other audience, but in its wandering way also leaves wonderfully amazed."
“Mr. Dupieux [...] obviously has sufficient creative control (seen especially in the video simulating the perspective of waste passing through a dog's digestive tract). But that's not the same as giving a movie shape and drive, and it would take a firmer hand to right this “Wrong.” ”
"Mr. Dupieux [...] obviously has sufficient creative control (especially seen in the video which shows the perspective of the faeces as it wandered through the dog's intestine). But that is not the same as giving shape and momentum to a film, and it would take a safer hand to get this "wrong" right. "
