The opera trilogy is bound together by the concept of a siege, and Swar is itself set during the Great Siege of 1565. The second opera, Il-Blata Mġarrba, will be set during the Siege of Malta in the Second World War, while the third, L-Era tal-Wieħed jew Xejn, takes place in modern times and deals with conceptual sieges.
