Jaap Pieters (The Eye of Amsterdam) started filmmaking in the early 1980s. Since then, he has made hundreds of super 8mm films and taken thousands of photographs capturing what most attracts and fascinates him: the trivial. Nightshades is a weekend trip from Jaap Pieter's bedroom and his office in the Cafe Gambrinus in Amsterdam to Katwijk aan Zee. We hear him reading out loud his love letters.
