Iranian courtyards with wells

It seems to be a fixture of Iranian homes to have a well in their courtyard. I first came across them in the film The Willow where the man had his own well. It was inspirational and I always wanted to do some kind of art based on wells and reflections.

The Willow Tree, Iranian film from 2005

Youssef, a blind university professor, is suddenly diagnosed with a fatal disease and must undergo treatment in France. Back home, will he find the life he had before?
