BOB TREVINO LIKES IT is inspired by the true friendship writer-director Tracie Laymon formed with a stranger while searching for her father online. Often playing the role of caregiver to people like her father who were supposed to be caring for her, Lily Trevino longs for a familial bond after being abandoned by her mother as a child and then suddenly by her father in her twenties. Bob Trevino works long hours alone at a construction company to support his wife Jeanie’s scrapbooking addiction. The couple has been through a lot over the past decade, and Bob has tried to put his wife first, to the point of ignoring his own feelings and need for friendship, meaning, and connection — that is, until he receives an unexpected Facebook message from a stranger. . Lily and Bob’s budding friendship becomes an important source of connection and healing in their lives. Bob’s small acts of fatherly kindness fill a familiar void in Lily’s life and have the power to change her trajectory forever. In their own ways, these two must learn that they deserve extraordinary love, expressed in small acts of kindness.
