This film was originally released in Mexico under the title 'Sólo con tu pareja' (Only With Your Partner), and the title 'Transnational Plunder' is likely an alternative or international release title, or possibly a misremembered title as Alfonso Cuarón's films are generally not associated with such a title and his 1991 film was 'Sólo con tu pareja'.
