The  Wellman

Bunarman / The Wellman

The main character of the documentary Wellman, Antun Gabajček – Nuno, is one of the last practitioners of an old and dying profession. He digs water wells as ordered without the use of machinery, using only tools hitch require hard physical labour. An ode to human labour, as well as to the passion of a man who loves his work.
