Abstract

This Argentinean film was shot in 1947 from the homonymous Brazilian novel, whose title extracts a fragment of the Sermon on the Mount. Beyond the meanings given by Christian apostles and philosophers to the imperative of considering the lilies of the field, the novel and the film exceed that of not worrying on worldly needs and provide valuable axiological teachings for professional practice and daily life, all linked to other disvalues and values. In this regard, they condemn vain ambitions and the breach of a commitment, however advantageous it may be, and, in contrast, rescue the austere life devoid of unnecessary luxuries, personal redemption and responsible parenthood.
