We all know the pictures of Eight Miles and Michigan central station - the monumental and ghostly railway station. And yet, the city is no longer officially bankrupt. But what is the price ? The city center is rebuilt. But for who ? generations of artists continue to appear. Who are they ?

What if all the media repeated about that was a lie. This documentary offers a road trip in one of the most enigmatic cities of the USA. The words of its inhabitants reveal a city half empty, but full of concerned citizens, downgraded persons which seem to hide from the rest of the world. Highlighting these people, Resilience sounds like a declaration of love for their city.Through History and histories, the music sounds from everywhere, half-empty streets, abandoned building, invading brownfields and hearts, making a part of Detroit's soul.
