Iggy Pop’s way of surviving as an individual in an impersonal world, based on Michel Houellebecq’s ”To Stay Alive”, and on his own experiences in rock. Did they help each other to survive?

From his sunlit garden in Miami Iggy Pop recites Michel Houellebecq’s ”To Stay Alive”. In France we meet Houellebecq and the people whose life stories inspired this essay, in which Iggy recognizes his own struggle as a young artist. A film of musings, interviews and dialogues, with Iggy speaking directly to the audience through Houellebecq’s words. A call to break free from our chains and to ”go for it”.
