Tuya's Marriage: From the vast steppes of Inner Mongolia comes this story about a sheepherder who, in order to support her two kids and disabled husband, agrees to look for a new husband. As dry as the surrounding landscape, the movie isn't without its comedic elements as Tuya considers her prospects, but what really sets it apart is the sense that there are parts of the world where happy endings aren't guaranteed.
