My overall impression
“The Valley of Light” takes the viewer back to the 1940s at the end of WWII. Noah, a soldier without work, is surprised to find his younger brother in jail. He decides to escape from it all, perhaps because of what he experienced overseas in Europe, to a more peaceful setting. He finds he has a knack for fishing in rivers and streams where he seems to pull catfish in record numbers. One day he meets Hoke, an older man, who tells him about his ability to see “angels” and who advises him to go into the Valley of Light where nice folks live.
At the valley, he finds an ideal place where to spend time. He endears himself to the local population where he is regarded as something of a marvel because, when prompted, he can fish better than anyone. Noah seems to know where to cast his line with good results. He meets the lovely widow of a soldier who has committed suicide. Noah seems to have everything he hoped for, yet, tragedy strikes taking a young boy whom he feels responsible for his untimely death.
