The Sustainable Lightness of Being has 13 episodes, each lasting 26 minutes, and was filmed entirely in the Chapada dos Veadeiros region - Brazil, revealing socio-environmental projects that are developed in the region and which are generally unknown to the Brazilian population. Several personalities present their points of view and their close relationship with the environment and the way they practice sustainability in their lives. The personalities selected work in the service of others, in the service of society, the environment and even the good of humanity.—Bruno Fatumbi Torres
