| 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. |
