Ricardo: "Panibagong sampung taong sentensya na naman? Gusto ko pang ituloy ang buhay ko sa labas."

Synopsis

Life is unpredictable. And even in a well-guarded place like the prison house, you can never tell what will happen next. The same unpredictability applies in food preparation. No matter how strict you follow a recipe, you are never sure that it will taste the same.

Ranchero unfolds in a small provincial jail in the province of Rizal , Philippines . And today is Ricardo’s (Archi Adamos) last day behind bars. He and his close friend Miyong (Garry Lim) are tasked to cook rations for their inmates. The two friends spent the whole morning talking about Ricardo’s plans when he gets out. After lunch, one of the kitchen knives is missing which called the attention of jail officials. Not only will this delay the ration for the day, but also the freedom Ricardo and Miyong wish for themselves.
