Returning from prison, Peter falls into debt pursuing a relationship with the prostitute Ana and her pimp Gringo. To pay back the money owed, Peter proposes that Ana and Gringo visit his father with him. They accept his proposal, thinking they might trick some money out of the old mountaineer with a story about Ana's upcoming marriage to Peter (with Gringo as the best man). During the long and colorful journey the three become friends and complicit in the deception. Peter's father, though, instantly recognizes the scam and steals the bride from his incompetent son. Gringo is happy with this turn of events but Peter is irritated by it. However, the father's sudden death before the registrar prevents Ana and Gringo from inheriting. When the dreams of material wealth vanish, what is left is the love between Ana and Peter, and the friendship that struck up between the three, so much so that at the end Gringo sacrifices himself for the couple's happiness.

Transition poster

A painter named Vlado paints a portrait of an unknown woman. When the portrait "becomes alive" and the woman in the painting shows up at the artist's exhibition opening, Vlado's life is turned upside down. As Vlado becomes involved in a passionate affair with the mysterious woman, he does not even notice that he has fallen into the trap of Zom, a para-psychological organization which controls the actions of individuals by entering their thoughts, which is the meaning of "passing". A whirlwind of curious events and unexplained suicides takes him into a world where reality and fantasy are intertwined, a world created by a manipulative international corporation. In the world where relationships are just a means to an end and death is only an illusion, control and power are of ultimate value. Vlado realizes that he cannot trust anyone and even doubts his own sanity. However, it turns out that the naive artist is not such an easy target.
