Synopsis “I have no regrets,” says Vivianne Gauthier, sitting on her bed in the room where she has slept for over eighty years. A singular woman—strong, disciplined, and energetic—this choreographer and dance teacher lived life on her own terms, leaving her mark on the cultural history of her country, Haiti. This film offers a glimpse into her life through a visit to her home, a “Gingerbread House” where every corner is filled with memories. Here is the portrait of an endearing woman, revealing a side of Haiti that is too often overlooked.
