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...
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.

Njihovo će nas tragično putovanje podsjetiti na milijune nevinih žrtava holokausta.
