A gang is a group of recurrently associating individuals with identifiable leadership and internal organization, identifying with or claiming control over territory in the community, and engaging either individually or collectively in violent or other forms of illegal behavior . Gang members are typically "jumped in" or have to prove their loyalty by committing acts such as theft, violence or even murder. Gangs are prominent in the larger cities in the United States, in prisons and jails while many branches of the original gang are present in small towns and suburbs. American gangs originated in the city of Chicago and the surrounding areas. These gangs were competing with one another during the prohibition era and would often beat or even murder an opposing gang member for attempting to sell or distribute illegal liquor on their "turf". This resulted in retaliation and eventually a "war" between the opposing gangs. In current usage it typically denotes a criminal organization or else a criminal affiliation. In early usage, the word gang referred to a group of workmen. In the United Kingdom the word is still often used in this sense, but it later underwent pejoration. The word gang often carries a negative connotation; however, within a gang which defines itself in opposition to mainstream norms, members may adopt the phrase as a statement of identity or defiance.

Plot: It is the story of the unusual friendship that develops between Luka and Umut, two very different boys who meet by chance on the streets of Stuttgart. While Luka, the mute, communicates only through a bizarre hand puppet, the talkative Umut barely pauses for breath as he strives to grow up to be a policeman, a secret agent or perhaps a bodyguard. At first, Umut shows little more than mild curiosity for strange boy he names 'Psycho'. When the Turkish boy discovers Luka's dark secret, he suddenly learns much more about him. At the end of the most exhilarating day of their lives, they are both a whole lot more grown up.

Genres: Drama, Short,Can you call it what you see when you're reaching for the light,
Found again before you leave, holding back enough to try,
Overheard talking down from somewhere, just above,
To take you in, then throw you out, when the open evenings come
Through the years you're due to spend in the promise of the vice,
Pouring shares to weathered friends ditching out at closing time,
Caving in and trailing off, will they find the fight to run,
Doubled back until they've gone where the open evenings come
Shaking in the coldest hours kept just out of mind,
Whispered where they wouldn't go, tying off the broken lines
That sent you on as if to show something waiting in the night,
Facing up and looking in, that you'd finally had too much,
