Synopsis

Spain, 1944. The end of the Civil War.

Recently remarried Carmen (Ariadna Gil) moves with her daughter Ofelia (Ivana Baquero) into the house of her new husband, coldly authoritarian Vidal (Sergi López), a captain in Franco's army. Finding her new life hard to bear, the young girl seeks refuge in a mysterious labyrinth she discovers next to the sprawling family house.

Pan (Doug Jones), the guardian, a magical creature, reveals that she is none other than the long-lost princess of a magical kingdom. To discover the truth, Ofelia will have to accomplish three dangerous tasks, tasks which nothing has prepared her to face...

Written and directed by Mexican filmmaker Guillermo Del Toro, this is his sixth film as a director and PAN'S LABYRINTH took a year's preparation, four months shooting on location in Spain and six months of post-production.
