Widely acknowledged as Yasutaka Tsutsui's masterpiece, "Paprika"
unites his surreal, quirky imagination with a mind-bending
narrative about a psychiatric institute that has developed the
technology to invade people's dreams.
When prototype models of a dream-invading device go missing at the
Institute for Psychiatric Research, it transpires that someone is
using them to drive people insane. Threatened both personally and
professionally, brilliant psychotherapist Atsuko Chiba has to
journey into the world of fantasy to fight her mysterious
opponents. As she delves ever deeper into the imagination, the
borderline between dream and reality becomes increasingly blurred,
and nightmares begin to leak into the everyday realm. The scene is
set for a final showdown between the dream detective and her
enemies, with the subconscious as their battleground, and the
future of the waking world at stake.
