Plot summary
Ian Dury contracts polio as a child, and the illness leaves him with a disability. In the 1970s he becomes a new wave musician and one of the founders of Britain's punk-rock scene. He defies the expectations placed on him and rises to fame. He lives with the disability that childhood polio caused, and his way of living shapes his relationships. Among the people in his life are Betty Dury, Baxter Dury, Chaz Jankel, Denise and Bill Drury. Other figures include Russell Hardy, Mick Gallagher and the Sulphate Strangler. The film's title comes from Dury's 1977 single "Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll".
