An old man is trying to create a girl out of his memories. Little by little the doll is being made and given a physical body of machinery parts. The old man makes her as a pure creature, but she denies her identification. The doll demolishes herself, saying, “This is not Me!”

Where it came from
About the Girl was produced by the students and faculty of the Tokyo University of the Arts (Geidai) Department of Animation. This institution is renowned for its rigorous focus on traditional craftsmanship combined with experimental storytelling, acting as an incubator for the next generation of Japanese independent animators. The film emerged as part of the department's initiative to nurture unique directorial voices outside of the commercial studio system.
The film is a hallmark of Geidai's pedagogical approach, emphasizing the autonomy of the individual artist. It reflects the studio's commitment to visual exploration, where the design choices are dictated by the personal stylistic signature of the student filmmaker rather than market demand. It is widely regarded as a significant piece of academic-led animation that highlights the vibrant, unconventional aesthetic trends cultivated within the university's professional training program.
