"Ancestor's day" is an intimate drama about the complex relationships between an adult woman and her elderly mother. One Saturday morning, the mother comes to Nadia's place to take her, as the old tradition suggests, to the cemetery to visit the graves of the passed away relatives. Nadia has her own plans, but her mother authoritatively pulls her out of the usual schedule. They need to visit the grave of Nadia's father, whom his mother had divorced long before his death. On their way the mother swears and in every possible way manifests her irreconcilable nature. Nadia suffers. On the way back women quarrel violently, the mother slams the car door in the middle of the rural road and leaves. Nadia tries to follow her back, but gets her tire flat and has to stop. After a while the mother runs back to the car in panic: behind her runs a tiger that previously had escaped from the truck during the transportation. Women hide from the predator in the car. While they are waiting for help, memories make them open their hearts to each other and they speak the words of love they have not been able to find for each other for a long time.
