PAN'S LABYRINTH is a gothic fairy tale set against the postwar repression of Franco's Spain. Del Toro's sixth and most ambitious film, PAN'S LABYRINTH combines the historic and moral themes of his acclaimed Spanish Civil War ghost story THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE with the protean visual creativity and gripping dynamics of such previous films as HELLBOY and BLADE II. Harnessing the formal characteristics of classic folklore to a 20th Century landscape, del Toro delivers a timeless tale of good and evil, bravery and sacrifice, love and loss. "Have you seen my mother? She's very beautiful."
