Most psychologists, sociologists and culturologists agree that the relationship between mother and daughter contains tensions present in few other relationships between two women, as it contains constant conflict between similarity and difference, separation and togetherness, dependence and independence. In this paper we shall examine the mother-daughter relationship in the drama Za nase mlade dame by Dragic Potoènjak, who often places dysfunctional family relations at the centre of her plays, and Lep dan za umret by Vinko Möderndorfer, in which differences between mother and daughter are shown from an intergenerational point of view and with regard to historical context.
