The visionary filmmaker Guillermo del Toro and renowned author Daniel Kraus combine their formidable talent in a love story as touching as it is fascinating. "The Shape of Water" is set in the city of Baltimore during the Cold War, at the Occam aerospace research center, where an extraordinary and potentially valuable being has recently arrived: an amphibious man captured in the Amazon. What follows is an emotional love story between this being and one of the cleaning women at Occam, who is mute and communicates with the creature through sign language. Developed from the outset as a groundbreaking simultaneous release --the same story recreated by two artists in the independent mediums of literature and film--, "The Shape of Water" weaves fantasy, horror, and the romantic genre to create a narrative that is as thrilling on paper as it is on the big screen. Get ready for an experience unlike anything you have read or seen.
