![]() Tagline: Innocence has a power that evil cannot imagine.
In this fairy tale, a small family in Spain moves into an old house in 1943 after the rise of Fascism. Their eldest daughter, at age 12, falls in love with a fawn that lives in the old ruined labyrinth which resides behind their new decrepit home.
Award-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro delivers a unique, richly imagined epic with Pan's Labyrinth, a gothic fairy tale set against the postwar repression of Franco's Spain. Del Toro's sixth and most ambitious film, Pan's Labyrinth combines the historic and moral themes of his acclaimed Spanish Civil War ghost story The Devil's Backbone with the protean visual creativity and gripping dynamics of such previous films as Hellboy and Blade II. Harnessing the formal characteristics of classic folklore to a 20th Century landscape, del Toro delivers a timeless tale of good and evil, bravery and sacrifice, love and loss.
Pan's Labyrinth unfolds through the eyes of Ofelia, a dreamy little girl who is uprooted to a rural military outpost commanded by her new stepfather. Powerless and lonely in a place of cruelty, Ofelia lives out her own dark fable as she confronts monsters otherworldly and human.
