“Tinto Brass re-opens the closed houses!”
In 1957 Trieste, Mimma, a naive country girl, takes on the name Paprika to fund her indolent boyfriend's whims. Drifting between brothels in the city's bustling heart, Paprika navigates the intricacies of her profession, one client at a time. Yet, amid her ascent and burgeoning sexual liberation, a pervasive sense of incompleteness gnaws at her. Does Paprika seek a profound romance to unravel the enigma of genuine love?
