 Set in the early years after the Spanish Civil War (1936-39), "Pan's Labyrinth" tells the story of Ofelia, a young girl who is forced to move to live in a gloomy mill in a forest. Her stepfather, a Fascist captain of the troops of La Falange, is in charge of controlling that area. Guillermo del Toro’s film introduces us to the world of the “maquis,” the clandestine anti-Francoist rebels who used to hide in the mountains and forests. Ofelia’s stepfather job and obsession is to fight and destroy them. The violence in the world of the adults erupts in the girl’s life who finds an escape in a mysterious labyrinth inhabited by a faun: where fantasy and reality overlap and mix.
