Il Contratto (also known as 'The Contract') is a 1953 Australian film from Giorgio Mangiamele and Italian migrants in Australia. It was completed within a year of Mangiamele's arrival in Australia from Italy.[1]
Plot[edit]
Four young single Italian men (Giuseppe Michelini, Luigi Borsi, Giuseppe Cusato, Giorgio Mangiamele) travel to Melbourne by boat. Their trip was financed by loans from a travel agency, attracted by an Australian government scheme that promises them two years' guaranteed employment. They settle in inner-city accommodation, but find it impossible to obtain work in the midst of Australia's 1952–53 recession. Together with a woman friend, the men move to a farm outside Melbourne. After some initial setbacks, they earn enough money to pay off the agency loans.
