Tuya's Marriage
Tuya, hardworking and hardheaded, is a Mongolian desert herder
who refuses to be settled in a town in accordance with the new
industrialization policy. She is kept busy with two kids, a disabled
husband and 100 sheep to care for, but one day she hurts her back. The
only way for the family to survive is for her to divorce her husband on
paper and look for a new spouse who can take care of the whole family. A
series of suitors lines up, but it’s not easy to find a man who fits
the bill. This warm, endearing tale, featuring stunning cinematography,
won the top prize at the 2007 Berlin International Film Festival.
