스기오카와 다섯 친구들은 밤마다 도쿄 교외의 한적한 부두에서 복고풍 의상을 입고 일본 쇼와 시대의 흘러간 노래들을 부르며 흥청망청 세월을 보내는 떨거지 청춘들이다. 어느 날 길에서 중년 부인과 마주친 스기오카는 장난삼아 그녀에게 추파를 던지고, 그녀가 거절하자 무참하게 칼로 찌른 뒤 도망친다. 그러나 희생된 그녀는 평범한 가정주부가 아니었으니, 가라오케에서 노래를 부르는 친목모임이자 또다른 쇼와 시대 추종집단인 40대 여성들의 비밀결사 ‘미도리 클럽’은 곧 복수를 위해 스기오카 일행을 추적해 온다.
Skinless Night (which borrows its title from a best-selling brand of condoms) centers on the 33-year-old Kayama Mutsuro, who supports his wife, child and a small team of employees by making porn videos. Profit margins are very low, the financier has his own troublesome ideas about the kind of tape he wants produced, the company office isn't an ideal environment for child-minding, and the job constantly throws up new challenges - like shopping for bondage gear or devising the special visual effects for a 'golden shower' scene. On top of everything else, Kayama is heading for a mid-life crisis. The rediscovery of his unfinished student film crystallizes his general sense of dissatisfaction, and leads him to rethink his life and work, to the chagrin of many of his friends, colleagues, and family members. Mochizuki's quasi-autobiographical début feature observes both the workings of the porn sub-culture and the spiritual problems of its central character.
