In post-war Beirut, a solitary florist finds her red roses vanishing day after day. Ignored by the police and dismissed by her neighbors, she sets out to catch the thieves herself. The trail leads her to a masked street child and a hidden world of displaced children. When she tries to rescue them, their quiet magic reveals that she is the one who needs saving. At the heart of Queen of Reds are two women on opposite ends of society, each living with a loss in her own way. Madame Layla answers loss with control. Her flower shop runs on routine: the same hours, the same gestures, the same red roses in the window. That order protects her, but it also isolates her. Tala is a displaced child camping in a bus, yet she moves through the city with a freedom and a sense of community that Layla lost long ago. When Tala starts stealing Layla's red roses, these two ways of survival collide. Through their encounter, we challenge the idea of who needs saving and who is lost.
