'My Seven Sons' is a 1970 Azerbaijani drama film. The film plot is written by Yusif Samedoglu based on his father poet Samed Vurgun's 'The Komsomol Poem' which is about the events of the 1920s and the Soviet overtaking of Azerbaijan.

The title "Yeddi Oul strm" derives from Azerbaijani folklore clause 'Yeddi Oul strm, Birc Dn Qz Glin' (meaning "I'd like seven sons and just one daughter"), usually said during the weddings, when the groom comes to the bride's house to pick her up. The movie was shot for the 50th anniversary of establishment of Soviet power in Azerbaijan.
