In China, it was until recently the rule that you should have only one child per family. This episode of the world in 7 days contains a portrait of such a family. How does family solidarity stand in large and smaller families elsewhere in the world? How does that form a child and how far does it impact the family ties when the family composition has been either influenced, forced, or made out of free will?

The world in seven days is a seven episodes documentary series that reviews seven themes with seven families from seven countries around the world. How does the world love, from Nairobi to Apeldoorn? How do people relate to their work and their family - in L.A., Moscow and Istanbul? The new program The world in seven days is a poetic and personal journey based on seven different families, countries, cultures, norms, values, beliefs and history. Are we very different, or do we all look for the same thing in our daily lives?
With: the family Tastan (Turkey); Kennedy Odhiambo Onyango (Kenya); the family Sun (China); Anjoke and Maarten (Netherlands); Denis and Maria Abramov (Russia); the family Berberian (Brazil); and Steffie Nelson (USA). 
Director: Hans Pool
