Dr. Atsuko Chiba works as a scientist by day and, under the code name "Paprika," is a dream detective at night. Atsuko and her colleagues are working on a device called the DC Mini, which is intended to help psychiatric patients, but in the wrong hands it could destroy people's minds. When a prototype is stolen, Atsuko/Paprika springs into action to recover it before damage is done.
"Satoshi Kon is an anime director with a lot to say - an engineer of delirious, dizzy trips through the psyche, but a spiky, tough social critic too. Whether you're an anime fiend or an inquisitive filmgoer, for 90 minutes, Paprika continually makes you see things in a new light. How often do you get to say that about a film?" - Alex Naylor (The Gaurdian)
