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, Captain Vidal, a Fascist officer under orders to rid the territory of rebels. With her delicate, pregnant mother Carmen, the young girl finds herself powerless and lonely in a place of unfathomable cruelty living out her own dark fable as she confronts monsters both otherworldly and human. Fascinated by fairy tales, Ofelia 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. With time running out, for Ofelia and for the rebels, both battle hardship and cruelty in order to gain their freedom. But who can be trusted in a time of lies and danger? Is Pan telling the truth ... And if not, who is?
