《12樓》是第一部在康城影展放映的新加坡電影，描繪住在同一棟組屋(新加坡建屋發展局建的公屋)三個不同家庭的故事。電影開頭青年從十二樓跳下，魂魄返回組屋，觀察三個家庭。肥胖女人珊珊姑媽為母所苦，想自殺卻沒勇氣；阿牛娶了北京新娘，新娘因為他窮拒絕做愛；深信「新加坡價值」的長兄，苦口婆心要弟弟妹妹天天向上，守身如玉。當長兄發現妹妹攜帶保險套，又見到妹妹男友，結局處處都有黑色幽默和荒誕。

The first Singaporean film invited to play in the Cannes Film Festival, 12 Storeys is set in a 12-storey government-built housing complex. A young man commits suicide by leaping from the 12th floor, but his soul returns to the public housing complex to observe three families. Troubled by her disapproving mother, fat lady San San (Lucilla Teoh) wants to commit suicide like the young man but lacks the courage. Ah Gu (Jack Neo) marries a Beijing bride who considers him too poor to sleep with. A firm believer in “Singaporean values” an elder brother lectures his sister and brother to become model citizens and refrain from premarital sex. Black comedy lies in wait for these Singaporeans.
