Historia Magistra Vitae
Historia magistra vitae is a fragment of a memory on a flight. The flight of Dara Mayer, a ethnic German
Croatian, who fled from the Croatian War in 1991 to Germany. Historia magistra vitae, History, Teacher of Life,
so the film portraits the circle of history mirrored in a personal story. The collective memory forgets faster then
the personal and still, in the end, the only thing thats left are fragments, which need to be put in new contexts.
