Paprika is a surreal interaction of fantasy and dreams with stunning art, seamless integration of 2-D and 3-D animation, and an amazingly inventive musical soundtrack perfectly attuned to the on-screen action. The mystery-thriller involves a new kind of dream therapy in which the doctor uses a device called the "DC Mini" to enter the dreams of patients.
