What happens to families in the absence of sons? What happens to land in the absence of farmers? What happens to villages in the absence of men? Sent Away Boys weaves together stories of individual ambitions and family biographies from Punjab (India) to chronicle the gradual transformation of agrarian landscape and patriarchal traditions through ongoing transnational migration. As the promise of a secure future in agriculture grows increasingly uncertain for young men across the region, escaping India to join the low-wage labor in countries like Canada and USA becomes their sole aspiration. In rural Punjab, being a successful man now entails leaving their village, traveling abroad, and sending money home. Through interviews with men preparing to undertake often risky journeys and women awaiting the return of their sons, brothers and husbands, Sent Away Boys shows how young men's decisions to emigrate implicate families and communities across North India.

Now that contraception is controlled by women, men seem to experience carefree sexual freedom. In reality, they lose autonomy over their own seed. Director Lynn Deen started the film out of frustration: Why was the woman always the one to carry the burden that comes with lust? Gradually she saw that this luxury position actually places men in a dangerous position of dependence. They have virtually no control over both the prevention and the termination of a pregnancy. That is why they should be more involved in preventing pregnancy. Not only for women, but especially for themselves.
