Trieste, Italy, 1957. A few months before the general ban on brothels, inexperienced country girl Mimma becomes Paprika to finance her worthless boyfriend as a prostitute. Amid the hustle and bustle of Rome, Paprika drifts from one brothel to another as she learns the ropes and works her way up one client at a time. However, as Paprika embarks on a stormy journey of self-discovery and sexual liberation, the sense that something is missing in life haunts her. Is Paprika meant to experience a passionate romance and solve the great mystery of true love? Written by Nick Riganas |

Did You Know?
Trivia | Tinto Brass originally planned this film as a straightforward adaptation of John Cleland's "Fanny Hill", but after a number of years in development hell, he rewrote the screenplay and updated the setting to 1950s Italy. Still, the film manages to stay more faithful to Cleland's novel than most 'official' adaptations. See more » |
