What happens

Ľalie poľné sú v poradí druhý celovečerný film slovenského režiséra Ela Havettu. Film bol nakrútený v roku 1972 a jedná sa o lyrizovanú tragikomédiu zasadenú do prostredia slovenskej dediny po skončení 1. svetovej vojny. Dej sa zameriava na vojnových vyslúžilcov, ktorí sa snažia dať svojmu životu zmysel. Film bol nakrútený podľa novely Vincenta Šikulu Nebýva na každom vršku hostinec (1966), ktorá predstavuje experimentálnu líniu slovenskej prózy. Vincent Šikula sa tiež podieľal na scenári k filmu.
