The war may be over, but the fight to belong is just beginning. Left homeless, starving, and almost killed by the Second World War, the Saforo family are refugees fleeing Italy for a better life. The shores of Australia are calling to them and they head off, packing dreams of jobs, a home and … soccer. But from the moment they get off the boat, adapting to the Australian way of life is harder than it seems. Their family doesn't speak right, eat right or even look right. As they struggle to build a simple life against the backdrop of 1950s racism, they start to wonder if they will be outsiders forever. A true family affair, Wanderers No More will make you laugh, remind you of your family, and warm your heart.
