‘TUYA’S Marriage” has enough material to supply an entire year of a soap opera – in Inner Mongolia, that is.

Ready? Tuya’s husband is laid up from injuries received digging a well for their isolated abode in the Mongolian grasslands. Then Tuya, mother of two young children, discovers she has a bum back and can’t do any heavy work.

Faced with not being able to support her family, Tuva comes up with a plan only a Mongolian sheepherder could love. She’ll divorce her husband and marry another man. But there’s a catch – a big one, at that. Whoever becomes hubby No. 2 must support hubby No. 1.

You wouldn’t think that a woman who rides a two-hump camel while herding the family’s flock of sheep would be a stud magnet. But Tuya (Hu Nan) is besieged by suitors, including a wealthy former classmate who says he has loved her for 17 years.

“Tuya’s Marriage,” by Chinese director Wang Quadan, continues from there in a likable but melodramatic way. Oh, yes. The barren Mongolian landscape is appealing to the eye, as well.

In Mandarin, with English subtitles. Running time: 92 minutes. Not rated (some violence). At Cinema Village, 12th Street, east of Fifth Avenue.
