Pan's Labyrinth (Movie Watch)


In 1944, during a Fascist regime that followed the country’s Civil War, a young girl named Ofelia and her mother are forced to relocate to rural Spain to live with the girl’s stepfather, Captain Vidal. As the leader of a military unit sworn to fight any rebels in the territory, Vidal is the epitome of Fascism and a brutally abusive stepfather to Ofelia. Her loneliness and vivid imagination lead her to a fantastic discovery of an incredible stone labyrinth near her new home. When she ventures inside, she discovers a surreal world full of mythical creatures that hail her as their princess. Ofelia soon meets the otherworldly Pan, who gives her three dangerous tasks to complete before she can return home. For the 11-year old girl, it is a magnificent escape that will help her cope with the harsh realities of the world she left.
