This documentary closely follows two Japanese individuals who have undergone body modification, a major cultural trend overseas. Through images and provocative statements, the documentary delves into the inner world of these individuals, challenging the impression that they are only feared based on their appearance.

The story of a teenage boy named Yu, who falls for Yoko, a girl he runs into while working as an "up-skirt" photographer in an offshoot of the porn industry. His attempts to woo her are complicated by a spot of cross-dressing – which convinces Yoko that she is lesbian – dalliances with kung-fu and crime, and a constant struggle with the guilt that's a legacy of his Catholic upbringing.
