You could get lost. It has happened before. Ill tell you the story one day, if you want to hear it. In fairy tales, there are men and there are wolves, there are beasts and dead parents, there are girls and forests. Ofelia knows all this, like any young woman with a head full of stories. And she sees right away what the Capit in is, in his immaculate uniform, boots and gloves, smiling- a wolf. But nothing can prepare her for the fevered reality of the Capit ins eerie house, in the midst of a dense forest which conceals many things- half-remembered stories of lost babies; renegade resistance fighters hiding from the army; a labyrinth; beasts and fairies. There is no one to keep Ofelia safe as the labyrinth beckons her into her own story, where the monstrous and the human are inextricable, where myths pulse with living blood ...
