U Španjolskoj 1944. godine, neposredno nakon Građanskog rata, djevojčica Ofelija (I. Baquero) odseli se zajedno sa svojom trudnom majkom očuhu Vidalu (S. López), okrutnom vojnom zapovjedniku Francove vojske. Kako bi pobjegla od ružne svakodnevice, Ofelija neprestano bježi u svoj svijet mašte. Njezina je znatiželja jednoga dana odvede u šumu, te u tajanstveni podzemni labirint gdje susretne neobično biće, mitskoga Pana (D. Jones). Pan tvrdi da je ona reinkarnacija princeze Moanne - izgubljene kćeri podzemnoga kralja i da je njegova zadaća čuvati portal koji bi je trebao vratiti ocu. No, prije svega treba provjeriti je li njezina besmrtna duša ostala nepromijenjena i Ofelija mora izvršiti tri zadatka u vrijeme punog Mjeseca. No, to će ovu bajku na opasan način ispreplesti s ratnom stvarnošću...
Satira iz Drugog svjetskog rata koja prati usamljenog njemačkog dječaka čiji se svjetonazor preokrenuo kada otkrije da njegova samohrana majka skriva mladu židovsku djevojku na njihovom tavanu. Uz pomoć samo svog idiotskog imaginarnog prijatelja Adolfa Hitlera, Jojo se mora suprotstaviti svom slijepom nacionalizmu.
Iz perspektive osmogodišnjeg dječaka koji je uvelike zaštićen od stvarnosti Drugog svjetskog rata, svjedoci smo zabranjenoga prijateljstva koje će nastati između Brune, sina nacističkog zapovjednika, i Schmuela, dječaka Židova koji je zarobljen u koncentracijskom logoru. Iako dječake fizički razdvaja bodljikava ograda, njihovi će životi postati nezaobilazno isprepleteni. Izmišljena priča o Bruni i Schmuelu, pričana iz neobične perspektive, baca svjetlo na brutalnost, bezosjećajnost i razorne posljedice rata. Njihovo će nas tragično putovanje podsjetiti na milijune nevinih žrtava holokausta.
