In this article the author takes a constructivist postracionalistic point of view regarding two films of Guillermo del Toro “El laberinto del fauno” and “El espinazo del diablo”. Both film discusses the use of imaginative activities of the young protagonists to deal with issues of grief and loss. The study aims to shed light on the meaning which emerges from two painful life experiences of the actors, which is the leit motif around which takes shape a narrative identity. Postracionalistic Guidano’s model demonstrates once more applicable and very effective, even in the study of human functioning of the harmonic individuals, in the absence of psychopathological disorders.
