She is kept busy with two kids, a disabled husband and 100 sheep to care for, but one day she hurts her back.

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.

This movie is about Inner Mongolians. All the characters are Chinese, so it is like going out to eat Mongolian BBQ, but it really is called Mongolian for marketing purposes.
