"Light in April" describes the mixed emotions one can't help but feel when spending some time in New Orleans: a constant exhilaration in the face of the extraordinary vitality emanating from this city, and simultaneously, a sense of sadness and resignation in the face of the heart-wrenching misfortunes.
