Plot
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 fiancé get the money to start their own business, and is given the name Paprika at Madame Collette's ( Martine Brochard) house.
