Tretan means brotherhood or best friend in Maduran, the native language of Probolinggo.

Children here often learn to drive scooters around the age of nine. As a result, the desire to own a vehicle also arises early. The youngsters I accompanied saved their pocket money for tuned-up scooters and special racing motorcycles, which they use to go to school during the day and to illegal street races at night. They express their identity through flashy accessories like stickers or colorful lights on their machines. What inspired me the most is the close friendship in this group. Their interaction is sometimes rough, but they share beds, scooters, food and cigarettes and are naturally there for each other.
