Is WORK the most important thing?

How important is work for humans? To what extent is it possible to balance jobs and private life in other countries? In this episode we follow a Dutch doctor who found her life fulfillment in her job. To what extent is work a life-fulfillment in the lives of other families in another country? For many people, work is needed in order to survive, or simply to be able to eat. Is that seen as a life fulfillment?

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).
