Summary
By the time that strange passageway, echoing through the labyrinth of dreams, begins to seep into the streets of Tokyo, the boundary between reality and fantasy has long since vanished. This adult-oriented animation, shaped by Satoshi Kon, transforms into a psychoanalytic session that delves into the darkest layers of the human mind. When a revolutionary device called the DC Mini is stolen, parallel universes collide, and the chaos of the subconscious spills into the waking world. Atsuko, a research psychologist who takes on the identity of Paprika, must stop this dangerous journey echoing through the dream world.
