What happens

『恋の墓』(こいのはか、英題:Glave of Love)は、鳴瀬聖人監督の日本映画。 寺の僧侶、堀川ユウタ。彼の唯一の楽しみは、毎日寺の前を通る看護学生の“あの子”の姿をカメラのファインダーに収めることという生臭坊主。ユウタはある日、自分と名前が一文字違いの幼なじみユウカと再会し思い出話。そのつかの間、ユウカにキスを迫られるユウタだったが、突然のことに驚きユウカを突き飛ばしてしまう。 その後、偶然にもユウタは“あの子”がマッチングアプリを使って男性と会っているところを目撃しショックを受ける。ユウタは彼女と出会うための合法的な手段としてマッチングアプリを始める一方、振られたユウカも逆襲を企てる。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
