Features: Girlhood is poetry. A girl named Judy, raised in an orphanage, is sent to college by a mysterious figure she had once glimpsed in the wall, her shadow stretched long by car headlights. Her strange journey begins without any psychological preparation. She only saw this person once and felt how tall he was. He was waving at a car waiting outside the orphanage. As the car approached, the dazzling headlights cast his shadow on the wall of the hall, stretching his hands and feet comically from the floor to the dry wall of the corridor. It looked just like the "Uncle Long Legs" from the fairy tale – a big spider swaying back and forth.
