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.

Screening as part of NI Science Festival. Established in 2014, NI Science Festival has grown to become the largest celebration of its kind on the island of Ireland and in its relatively short lifespan became one of the leading Science Festivals in the whole of Europe.
