THE SHAPE OF WATER wins four of the thirteen Oscars nominations

We are so happy to know the film THE SHAPE OF WATER by Guillermo del Toro has been awarded with four of the thirteen nominations including: Best Film, Best Director, Best Original Score and Best Production Design.

Published by Macmillan, in Spain it’s available in all bookshops under Umbriel (Ediciones Urano Imprint).

Visionary storyteller Guillermo del Toro and celebrated author Daniel Kraus combine their estimable talent in this haunting, heartbreaking love story.

The Shape of Water is set in Baltimore 1962, during the Cold War. Elisa Esposito―mute her whole life, orphaned as a child―is struggling with her humdrum existence as a janitor working the graveyard shift at Baltimore’s Occam Aerospace Research Center, where an extraordinary being has recently arrived: an amphibious man, captured in the Amazon, to be studied for Cold War advancements. The creature is terrifying but also magnificent, capable of language and of understanding emotions…and Elisa can’t keep away. Using sign language, the two learn to communicate. Soon, affection turns into love, and the creature becomes Elisa’s sole reason to live.

Developed from the ground up as a bold two-tiered release―one story interpreted by two artists in the independent mediums of literature and film―The Shape of Water is unlike anything you’ve ever read or seen.
