Paprika (1991 film)

Paprika is a 1991 Italian film directed by Tinto Brass. The film is loosely based on John Clelands novel Fanny Hill, first published in 1748.

In 1958, on the verge of the Merlin Law that makes brothels illegal, Mimma Debora Caprioglio, a young country girl, comes to town and decides to work as a prostitute in order to help her fiance get the money to start his own business, and is given the name Paprika at Madame Collettes Martine Brochard house. In the process she loses any sense of selfconfidence and selfrespect, but eventually she finds redemption, wealth and her one true love.
