It seems that a princess of the subterranean magical kingdom lost her life years before. She will soon be drawn into a magical place that will challenge her imagination. Ofelia is a studious child, drawn to books about fairies, ogres, and other fantastical creatures. He entrusts the care of his wife and stepdaughter to the head housekeeper, Mercedes (Maribel VerdГє), who has an agenda of her own. He seems obsessed with only two things: his unborn son and killing the rebels. It becomes immediately clear that Ofelia does not want to be there, and just as clear, CapitГЎn Vidal is a brutish, merciless man with little interest in either his stepdaughter or, for that matter, his new wife. There, CapitГЎn Vidal and a small contingent of perhaps twenty or thirty soldiers and officers are seeking out and killing insurgents and rebels, still resisting even after the Spanish civil war seemingly had been decided. As the film opens she, her daughter, and her unborn son are being driven in a horse-drawn carriage to an army outpost deep in the woods of the Spanish countryside. By the end of the film, you'll hope that the magic realm is real.Д¬armen Vidal (Ariadna Gil), a widow and single mother to Ofelia (Ivana Baquero), chooses to secure her future security and that of her child by marrying CapitГЎn Vidal (Sergi LГіpez). It's never made clear whether the mythical realm is an escapist figment of the imagination of an emotionally stressed young girl or if it truly exists, an alternate reality no less real than our own. The other exists in a magical kingdom that exists far below our feet. One is in the real world: the brutal world of Fascist Spain in 1944. The story is constructed as two parallel tales. Guillermo del Toro, who in 2004 did such an effective job bringing Hellboy to the big screen, has fashioned a film deeply rooted in misogyny, myths, and mysticism.
