Behold was shot in December in the Marseille banlieue of Kalliste, which has a bad reputation for crime and poverty. The film’s title refers to the adage “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” and it challenges viewers to find beauty in difficult circumstances.
The plot “follows a young man, assaulted by hostility and aggression, chased into a realm where he’s compelled to find his idea of peace,” according to an official description.
