    <p><strong>TLDR:</strong> do your find on Genre and contain it's Movies, or use joins() - doing your search on Movies and containing Genre with conditions won't work for the results you want.</p> <hr> <p><strong>Explanation:</strong></p> <p>Below is your corrected 'contain' code, but more importantly, doing a 'contain' on Genre won't return the results you're looking for.</p> <p>What it does - limits the contained genres based on your condition... so it will pull ALL movies, and contain the genres that match <code>$genre</code>.</p> <hr> <p><strong>Solutions (depending on your needs):</strong></p> <p><em>Solution 1)</em></p> <ul> <li>Do a <code>find()</code> on Genre, with the condition, and contain it's movies. This will pull the genre that matches, then only the movies that are related to it.</li> </ul> <p><em>Solution 2)</em> - the one I'd recommend</p> <ul> <li>Use 'joins()':</li> </ul> <hr> <pre><code>$conditions = array(); $conditions['joins'] = array( array( 'table' =&gt; 'genres_movies', //or movie_genres if you've specified it as the table to use 'alias' =&gt; 'GenresMovie', 'type' =&gt; 'INNER' 'conditions' =&gt; array( 'GenresMovie.movie_id = Movie.id' ) ), array( 'table' =&gt; 'genres', 'alias' =&gt; 'Genre', 'type' =&gt; 'INNER', 'conditions' =&gt; array( 'Genre.id = GenresMovie.genre_id', 'Genre.name = "' . $genre . '"' ) ) ); $this-&gt;Movie-&gt;find('all', $conditions); </code></pre> <hr> <p><strong>Your edited (corrected imo) 'contain' example</strong></p> <pre><code>//edited example $genre = "drama"; $options = array( 'contain' =&gt; array( 'Genre' =&gt; array( 'conditions' =&gt; array('Genre.name' =&gt; $genre) ) ), 'recursive' =&gt; -1, 'limit' =&gt; 10 ); $this-&gt;paginate = $options; $this-&gt;set('movies', $this-&gt;paginate('Movie')); </code></pre> <ol> <li>you don't "contain" the model you're doing the find on (ie I removed 'Movie' from your contain array).</li> <li>you only contain models, not things like "MovieGenre.Genre" (I can't think of any time you would use '.' concatenated models)</li> <li>recursive needs to be -1 to use Containable - you should set this to -1 in the AppModel and forget the concept of recursive - it's bad</li> </ol>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
