Skin also studies the gender inequality in presenting nude images in motion pictures, and follows the revolution that has created nude gender equality in movies today. It culminates in a discussion of "what are nude scenes like in the age of the #METOO movement" as well as nudity as a part of motion pictures' future. The documentary compares the use of nudity to further story-lines vs. simple exploitation, and discusses how nudity is used in movies today with the explosion of "must-see" programming and its influence on the film medium.
