This illustrated book focused on the foundation and evolution of the migratory settlement that created the city of Svea in 1898, in which a contingent of Swedish families crossed the Mato Grosso jungles from Brazil on a great odyssey and reached the province of Misiones, and in which later other families of other nationalities were added.

The preface focused on certain aspects of the colonization in the area and how the political interference and the economic interest of the government transformed Svea into Oberá.

The photographic and oral testimonies are fundamentally collected in this audiovisual work entitled The Creation (History of Svea). These testimonies were collected in the place of origin and it were taken directly from the descendants of the colonizers.

Certain aspects related to montage and music used in the audiovisual are mentioned.
