SYNOPSIS
Spain, 1944. Officially, the Civil War has been over for five years, but a small group of rebels fights on unbroken in the northern mountains of Navarra. Dreamy 10-year-old Ofelia (Ivana Baquero) moves to Navarra with her delicate, pregnant mother Carmen (Ariadna Gil), to become acquainted with her new stepfather, Captain Vidal (Sergi Lopez), a cruel Fascist officer she does not feel anything for, who must rid the territory of rebels. Ofelia, who is fascinated by fairy tales, discovers an overgrown, tumbledown labyrinth behind the mill. In the heart of the labyrinth she meets Pan, an ancient satyr who claims to know her true identity and her secret destiny. But first, she must complete three tasks before the moon grows full. And no one must know: not her ailing mother, or her new friend, Mercedes (Maribel Verdú). Time is running out, for Ofelia and for the rebels. One night, Ofelia discovers the ruins of a laberynth where she finds a pan (Doug Jones), a strange criature that reveals her something increadible.
