The capital of Brazil was built just a few decades ago. Fully imagined and designed above the drawing board. Every square meter carefully planned from a piece of savannah. Urban builders were able to find unhindered answers to the most fundamental question: with which architecture do we contribute to human happiness? Brasilia had to be the ideal city. The architects had a city with a lot of space and greenery. A city where all layers of the population could find their place in an environment that would pay close attention to the human dimension. Happiness was ready to be picked up and only had to be filled in by the inhabitants. For example, by an engineering family in Brasilia, who in this episode asks the question: How happy do you get from living in Brasilia? And what does the ideal home look like for other families in Turkey, the Netherlands, Russia, China, the US and Kenya?

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).
