‘Union’ tells a story of a one legged man and his three legged dog and how they meet.
Tim Turner lost his leg in his 20’s in a motorbike accident; Boiski the dog lost his leg in a car accident. At a dance party Boiski walk straight up to Tim and sat down next to him then promptly jumped in his car and wouldn’t leave. After a discussion with his owner Tim was able to keep the dog.
Tim wrote the poem that is spoken during the film.
Union poem the bank of a river,
a dance floor
destiny’s head, reared once more
3am the dark of night
a 3 legged dog has taken flight
brushed aside by his life past
a union, our souls to hold fast
Boiski it seemed, had a plan
him my dog and I his man
how, I ponder he chose me
I with one and he with three
this mystery, yet I do unravel
four legs between, the same road to travel
