In 2018, an incel (an involuntary celibate) publishes a suicide note on the Reddit platform with the title "America is responsible for my death". Fluid Mechanics is an attempt to find answers to his words. A virtual drift through the Internet in search of his digital footprints, which ends up being an inner journey between two connected solitudes.
