Synopsis

In the vibrant streets of 1957 Trieste, young and naive Mimma transforms into Paprika, stepping into the shadowed world of brothels to support her unworthy boyfriend. As the impending ban on these establishments looms, she navigates the bustling heart of Rome, moving from one house to another, mastering the art of seduction and survival, one client at a time.

Amidst the whispers and secrets of the night, Paprika embarks on a tumultuous journey of self-discovery and sexual awakening. Yet, beneath the allure and the freedom, a silent longing lingers. In the depths of her heart, she yearns for a love that goes beyond the transactional, a romance that promises fulfillment and understanding. Will Paprika unravel the enigma of true love and find the passion she so desperately seeks?
