Hi, I am Italian and looking for the title of an Australian movie I watched some years ago. Can you help me?

Question

I remember only a little the plot.
A girl runs away from home and from her father and goes to live with a juvenile delinquent.
An Italian emigrant in Australia ( or an Australian man of Italian origin) lends a hand the father to find the girl across the Australia (it's a road movie).
I seem to remember the father of the girl is a filling station owner and the Italian is a commercial traveller a little rogue but with a generous nature and a gripping liking. I remember too a song the Italian often sing during the travel, the refrain was something like "vafancula" or similar.

Spagnioli approximately an italo australian who married a spanish lady and yet another one some guy who gets a mail order bride by utilising sending her a image of his brother. That starred Giovanni Ribbisi, the yank actor.

I just hate when that happens, you know everything except the title and when you ask someone they look at you like you're crazy. Good luck, I'm going to check back to see if someone comes through and possibly go rent it.
I just need to see what made such an impact on your memory.

Answer 4

Do you mean the movie, 'Looking for Alibrandi'?

I have seen it but I can't remember the exact plot, but I think that's the movie you mean. It was a big hit in Australia.
