Someone is throwing eggs at the superstitious Concha, and it could be anyone, including her scientist daughter-in-law or the taxi driver with whom she has fallen in love.
"Plaff!" (the title refers to the splat sound of the eggs) is an ineptly-made, micro-budgeted comedy which makes light of its own ineptitude and low budget resulting, unfortunately, in only one or two funny gags. Happily, the actors commit to their characters even while facing the camera crew in the mirror, confronting a crew member with a clapboard, or screaming at someone off-camera for a necessary prop. It's also interesting to see how much fun director Juan Carlos Tabío dares (or is allowed) to poke at Cuba's bureaucracy and general living conditions.
