There Is Such a Lad (Russian: Живёт такой парень, romanized: Zhivyot takoy paren) is a 1964 Soviet romantic comedy film, directed by Vasily Shukshin.

The movie tells the story of an Altai truck driver Pashka Kolokolnikov (played by Leonid Kuravlyov) - a kind, funny, and outgoing person, who loves life.

[2] He is a simpleton with a variety of gross provincial expressions and remarks, who likes to make fun of people and play practical jokes.

[3] The film follows Pashka Kolokolnikov, nicknamed "Piramidon," a young, optimistic, and somewhat naïve truck driver navigating the Chuisky Tract near Gorno-Altaysk.

During a routine trip with his colleague Kondrat Stepanovich, Pashka plays matchmaker, introducing him to a widow named Anisya, leading to a budding romance.

The film ends with Pashka dreaming of Nastya again, but this time she appears as Love rather than Death, inspiring him to persevere and seek fulfillment in life.
