BOB TREVINO LIKES IT is inspired by the true story of writer and filmmaker Tracie Laymon’s friendship with a stranger while searching online for her father. Lily Trevino, who has often taken care of people like her father who are supposed to take care of her, longs for a family connection because her mother abandoned her as a child and then, suddenly, her father in her twenties. Bob Trevino works long hours alone at a construction company to support his wife Jeanie’s scrapbooking business. The couple has endured 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 a vital source of connection and healing in both their lives. Bob’s small gestures of fatherly kindness fill the familial void in Lily’s life and have the power to change her direction forever. Each in their own way, these two must learn that they deserve extraordinary love, which comes in small gestures of kindness.
