Summary:
Three scientists at the Foundation for Psychiatric Research fail to secure a device they've invented, the D.C. Mini, which allows people to record and watch their dreams. A thief uses the device to enter people's minds, when awake, and distract them with their own dreams and those of others. Chaos ensues. The trio - Chiba, Tokita, and Shima - assisted by a police inspector and by a sprite named Paprika must try to identify the thief as they ward off the thief's attacks on their own psyches. Dreams, reality, and the movies merge, while characters question the limits of science and the wisdom of Big Brother.

This is a brilliant and colorful peace of animation. It's creative and has a unique rythm. You'll understand what I mean when you see it. I love the opening of the movie. It's a bit weird and hard to follow at times when it comes to the plot, but otherwise it's really a thrilling ride, as the character relationships and the central theme of the story are both very original and gripping. It really takes you into a dream world.
