9歲的女孩對愛情懵懂又充滿好奇，但一次令人不適的冒犯，卻打亂了她的性啟蒙。異性間嬉鬧與侵擾的界線在童年尾聲尚顯模糊，讓青春發育期更加幽微敏感。導演使用DV呈現女孩對愛情的好奇探尋，當第二性徵的出現打開美好新世界，也可能帶來衝擊與傷害。本片將少男少女從孩童邁向青春期中過渡的兩性差異，給予溫柔洞察。

Nine-year-old Sarah is quietly discovering love when an assault derails her sexual awakening. Summer 2000 is an intimate and delicate tale in which the play between different mediums offers an insight into gender performativity and consent.

回到曾被稱為家的所在。雖然舊日生活的空間已廢棄褪色，角落中仍殘留有往昔對話的聲音及呼吸氣息。漸漸地，記憶的色彩填補進來，魅影般浮現眼前。睹物思情，雖是靜態的戀物，卻有著滿滿時間流動的痕跡。夢樣的光影，深情凝視，彷彿貼近耳邊的話語，消逝與仍保留的，共同構成了家的意象，簡單卻透露出豐沛的追憶與思念。

Echoed in a memory-laden house are daily conversations between a mother and her two sons. This autobiographical short, in a hybrid form, chronicles a personal memory from the director’s adolescence, using set design and reenactment to reconstruct his childhood home.
