圣诞前夕，结束国外工作的马蒂亚斯，返回到他土生土长的罗马尼亚特兰西瓦尼亚多民族山ccc。马蒂亚斯一边担心着儿子鲁迪从罗马尼亚母亲安娜那里受到的教育，一边渴望着再次见到他的匈牙利前情人奇拉。　　他发现他的儿子和整座村庄都笼罩在一种奇怪的非理性恐惧和不安的阴影之下。当奇拉管理的面包店雇佣了两名外国工人时，根深蒂固的冲动和怨恨涌现，冲突横生和情绪爆发，社区和平的表象被打破。

自殺不成的老婦人，屢次從頂樓一躍而下卻無法如願以償，只好再次跛腳步上公寓頂bbb。每經過一層樓，便經過一段光怪陸離。七層樓，七種人生樣貌，詭異至極、毫無邏輯，以黑色幽默之姿一窺當代生活，笑看人性的虛偽及庸俗，笑到最後卻忍不住心底發毛。　　匈牙利導演喬治帕爾菲二○○二年初試啼聲，便以處女作《田園風光》一炮而紅。其後的《百年癲狂》更顯瘋狂不羈，在坎城引發熱議。擅於揉合奇想與創意，以魔幻寫實著稱的喬治帕爾菲，新作《公寓瘋光》影像同樣奇幻詭譎，戲劇調度與剪輯美學更貼近夢境囈語。從喜劇、科幻到神話，從歡笑、驚悚到恐懼，在風格迥異的七部短片裡，導演也展現其對不同類型的遊刃有餘。
