Full plot (contains spoilers)

The Queen tells the story of Siavash (played by Milad Keymaram), a spotter looking for an opportunity to prove his abilities. He chooses a tower at the Abadan Oil Refinery as his observation post, overlooking the enemy’s most vital coordinates and positions. Such a vantage point offers a golden opportunity to his own side, but doubts begin with the first casualties he inflicts on the enemy and the arrival of Jamshid (played by Mostafa Zamani), a fictional character in the story. Suddenly, this absolute power to kill people becomes frightening to Siavash. The Queen is a story about bees that sting even though they know they will die, because their home is more precious to them than their lives.
