Mama Dudu the Insect Woman

Ruben's brief is simple. He is to go where she goes, shoot what she says, and exactly as she says. It works fine, until they cross a border that is not in their plans, and they are arrested with a newborn baby that does not look like either of them. While waiting for detectives from the capital, hundreds of miles away on a road that is barely a road, the arresting customs officer and his prisoner discover common interests, and forge a bond close to kinship. However, the friendship presents a dilemma to the incorruptible customs officer for, contrary to his new friends' protestations of innocence, he can see the baby does not belong to them.
