The official synopsis reads:
Set in Spain in 1944, in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War, PAN’S LABYRINTH follows young Ofelia (Ivana Baquero: ANOTHER ME; THE NEW DAUGHTER; FRAGILE), who moves with her frail, pregnant mother (Ariadna Gil: BELLE ÉPOQUE; APPALOOSA) to a remote military outpost to live with her sadistic stepfather Captain Vidal (Sergi López: HARRY, UN AMI QUI VOUS VEUT DU BIEN; DIRTY PRETTY THINGS), a ruthless fascist officer. Ofelia befriends the housekeeper Mercedes (Maribel Verdú: Y TU MAMÁ TAMBIÉN; TETRO), who, unbeknown to Vidal, secretly aids the resistance. Fascinated by the strange landscape, Ofelia discovers an ancient labyrinth where she encounters a faun (Doug Jones: THE SHAPE OF WATER; HELLBOY) who tells her that she is the lost princess of an underground kingdom and must complete a series of tasks to prove her identity in order to return to her kingdom. As she undertakes three dangerous tasks, Ofelia’s fantastical world becomes increasingly intertwined with the brutal reality surrounding her.
