As per the official synopsis, the film follows the story of a "gifted cellist" Alex Serian, who returns home to Los Angeles after 20 years on the road.
"Music, which has been the constant, all-consuming river of his life, begins to carry Alex on an adventure that will change him forever," the note added, as per Variety.
Besides Pedro Pascal, the film also features Olivia Wilde, Eva Victor, Alexa Swinton, Kaya Ralls, Erik Griffin, JoBeth Williams, Margarita Levieva, Hank Azaria and Will Arnett in key roles.

Among the executive producers are Cameron Chidsey, Katie Goodson, DanTram Nguyen, Jeremy Reitz, and Rayne Roberts.
In a recent interview, Pascal opened up about his characer, explaining what inspired him to take up the character of a musician.
"There was something overall about this story that I think I connected to more cerebrally and emotionally. Alex is not a rock star. He's not even somebody that's looking for the spotlight. He's just someone whose first language is music.... It's a love letter to music; it's a love letter to movies. It's about family; it's about legacy; it's about healing. I wished for myself this kind of experience as an actor before I ever got to act," the actor said, as quoted by Variety.
'Behemoth!' is set to release on December 4.

Tony Gilroy directing? That alone makes this worth watching - 'Michael Clayton' was brilliant. The cast is incredible too with Olivia Wilde and Will Arnett. This has 'awards season' written all over it. Hope it releases in India on time! 🤞
The concept sounds beautiful - a musician rediscovering himself through family and legacy. We don't get many films like this in Hollywood nowadays. Pedro's quote about music being a 'first language' really resonates. This could be something special.
I hope they show authentic musician struggles and not just a glamorous version. Indian audiences love emotional family dramas - if done well, this could do great business here. But please, no cliché Hollywood depictions of 'struggling artists' 🙏
Pedro Pascal is having quite the year! From The Last of Us to this, he's showing incredible range. A cellist who returns home after 20 years... reminds me of my uncle who left India for music and came back. December can't come soon enough! 🎵
Good to see a non-action drama from Pascal. The cast is stellar but I'm a bit skeptical - these 'musician returns home' stories can be predictable. Hope Gilroy's writing brings something fresh. Still, December 4 is marked on my calendar! 🗓️
