When a machine that allows therapists to enter their patients' dreams is stolen, all hell breaks loose and only a young therapist, Paprika, can stop it.
A group of brilliant scientists have developed a form of psychotherapy with the invention of a machine which enables a person to enter another’s dreams. When the device is stolen by a "dream terrorist," it is up Atsuko Chiba, a scientist under the code name Paprika, to track down the apparatus and save the world from madness.
A heavy inspiration for Christopher Nolan's Inception, Satoshi Kon’s Paprika invites audiences to contemplate the role of dreams within our own reality.
