official description

Guillermo del Toro's Academy Award®-winning modern fairy tale grafts the style of the contemporary horror film onto anti-fascist political allegory. In Franco's Spain in 1944, the imaginative young Ofélia (Ivana Baquero) is unwillingly moved with her widowed mother into the command post of her new stepfather, a brutal army captain (Sergi Lopez) who is intent on snuffing out the rebel forces in the hills. Discovering a subterranean world beneath the monastery peopled with fantastic creatures (notably the unforgettable "Pale Man"), Ofélia meets a grotesque faun (Doug Jones) who gives her three dangerous tasks to complete. An international blockbuster, Pan's Labyrinth elevated del Toro to the company of Peter Jackson and Tim Burton as one of the cinema's leading fabulists.
