Wellman (Croatian: Bunarman) is a Croatian documentary film directed by Branko Ištvančić. It was released in 2003. The title is a play on superhero names like Superman and Batman. The film was screened on over 30 festivals worldwide and received several awards.

Synopsis

The film's protagonist, Antun "Nuno" Gabajček is a master of a dying trade: he excavates wells without using machines, relying only on hand tools. This approach is not just highly demanding physically, but also requires well-thought-out methods and resourcefulness.
