'Ungrateful' is a romantic drama that takes place at the time of Moses and charts the stories, alliances and feuds between a number of Jewish tribes. Among other stories and subplots, it tells the story of two Jewish cousins, Ameel and Ashel, who both want to marry Anael, the beautiful girl of the tribe. But a murder disturbs the peace of their Jewish tribes. This film is inspired by the famous story of Moses' sacrificial cow.
