BOB TREVINO LIKES is inspired by the true friendship writer/director Tracie Laymon found with a stranger while searching for her father online. Often playing the role of a caregiver for people like her father who should be taking care of her, Lily Trevino yearns for a family connection, having been 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 habit. The couple has endured much over the past decade, and Bob has sought to put his wife first, to the point of ignoring his own feelings and need for friendship, meaning, and connectionโthat is, until he receives an unexpected Facebook message from a stranger. Lily and Bob’s blossoming friendship becomes a vital source of connection and healing in both their lives. Bob’s small acts of paternal kindness fill a family void in Lily’s life and have the power to change its direction forever. In their own ways, these two must both learn that they are worthy of an extraordinary love exemplified by small acts of kindness.
