Handlung
Der folgende Text ist nur auf Englisch verfügbar.
In early 1960s Baltimore, during the Cold War era, lonely and mute janitor Elisa (Sally Hawkins) discovers a mysterious amphibious creature being held captive in the high-security laboratory where she works. Captivated by its beauty, she begins to communicate with it using sign language and develops an emotional bond. Meanwhile, the lab's cold-hearted scientist, Strickland (Michael Shannon), sees the creature as a potential weapon against Russia and subjects it to brutal experiments. When Elisa learns that the creature is due to be dissected after the arrival of an important government official, she teams up with her colleague Zelda (Octavia Spencer) and her artist neighbor Giles (Richard Jenkins) to free it. They succeed in releasing the creature into a nearby canal, but Strickland pursues them. In the ensuing confrontation, Elisa is killed protecting the creature, but it revives her before returning to its underwater home.

The Shape of Water is a magical realism fairy tale directed by Guillermo del Toro, set against the backdrop of Cold War era America in early 1960s Baltimore. The film follows mute janitor Elisa who discovers and forms an unlikely connection with an amphibious creature being held captive for scientific research at her workplace. The narrative explores themes of love, isolation, communication barriers, and the dehumanizing effects of cold-hearted scientific pursuit. It's a romantic melodrama that blends fantasy elements, with the creature serving as a catalyst for Elisa's personal growth and liberation from her monotonous life.
