Her mother ran to the plantation home nearby to give birth to little Eleanor on the ballroom floor. Entering this world with gusto, Eleanor often lamented, \u0022I was born in a ballroom, and I\u0027ve been dancing ever since.\u0022\n\nEleanor went on to teach, work for the Red Cross, travel the world, raise a family of five, and co-found The H\u00fctte Restaurant in her rural hometown of Helvetia, WV. The H\u00fctte is a Swiss restaurant that is nationally acclaimed both in print and in television (see The H\u00fctte featured on Travel Channel\u0027s \u0022Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern\u0022). The H\u00fctte reflects Eleanor and Helvetia\u0027s heritage through its food, decor, and culture. As we explore this exceptional woman and place, we discover, now forty years later, how one woman embraced a community through food and perhaps a dance or two.\n\nEleanor passed away on March 9, 2011 just twenty days shy of her 94th birthday. Even though the filmmakers cannot directly interview Eleanor for this film, they have collected old interviews and news footage to fill that void. Furthermore, The H\u00fctte, Helvetia, and Eleanor\u0027s family and friends confidently and seamlessly convey her story. Generally, the film follows The H\u00fctte\u0027s story through the seasons while weaving Eleanor\u0027s voice and image throughout.","wins":0,"nominations":null,"casts":[],"budget":null,"lifetimeGross":null,"openingWeekendGross":null,"worldwideGross":null,"keywords":[{"text":"family relationships"},{"text":"female traveler"},{"text":"west virginia"},{"text":"helvetia"},{"text":"appalachia"}],"production":[{"id":"co0318285","text":"Coat of Arms"}],"prestigiousAwardSummary":null,"moreLikeThisTitles":[{"code":"tt4720320","title":"Death Loves Life"},{"code":"tt24132176","title":"King Coal"}]}
