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

Critical Praise:
Tuya's Marriage is thoroughly gratifying in its consistent inventiveness and has a grasp of
human nature so universal that there's no feeling of the exotic about the film and its people.
- Kevin Thoma, Los Angeles Times
A wonderfully assured piece of cinema - Chicago Tribune
A compact near-masterpiece that combines a slow-motion romantic comedy with a
docudrama-style portrait of a remote, nomadic culture as it is gradually eroded by the tides of
the 21st century. - Anrew O’Hehir, Salon
With a simple, compelling and direct story, WANG Quan An makes eloquent points about the
vanishing life of the Mongolian herdsman - Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter
Funny, tender, and vividly shot. - David D’Arcy, Screen International
