Guillermo del Toro presents us with the second part of a planned trilogy about Spanish civil war, the first being “El Espinazo del Diablo”  (The Devil’s Backbone).

This time we accompany Ofelia, a young girl who travels with her pregnant mother to meet her Adoptive father who is a cruel captain of the post war military posted in a rural Spain. The Film mixes the crude reality and brutality of the time, some scenes being quite explicit, with Ofelia’s marvelous fairy tale journey into her rightful realm inside Pan’s Labyrinth.
