Di recente ho guardato un film di un regista ceco (Faust di Jan Švankmajer del 1994, nel caso qualcuno se lo stesse chiedendo). C’è una scena in cui il personaggio principale va in una specie di bar all’aperto e ordina quello che sembra un piatto di ravioli / pasticcini con ripieno (vedi immagini). Come si chiamano e di cosa sono fatti? È un piatto popolare nella Repubblica Ceca?
Originariamente avevo intenzione di postare questo in r/ChiediCecoma quel sub sembra inattivo e non mi lascia postare nulla, quindi spero di ricevere una risposta qui.

Plněné knedlíky. It can be filled with different ingredients from meat to fruit.
Oh, fruit dumplings. Yeah, dumpling yeast dough filled with fruit, modelled into little balls,, boiled and then with curd, sugar and melted butter (or poppy seeds or any other sweet stuff you can sprinkle on top you like) on top of it.
Or there can be savory variant with bacon and sauerkraut most often but the pictures are with sweet one.
Yes, plněné knedlíky are very popular in Czechia 🙂

There is also version called “Tvarohové knedlíky” which i liked better. Its basically same recipe, but the dough is made with quark creme.

You can find similiar dish in german speaking countries under name “Germknödel”
It is quite a common food in the Czech Republic. Filled fruit dumplings – Plněné knedlíky or Ovocné knedlíky. They have them in some more traditional restaurants and often you can get them in the mountains – filled with blueberries. It is also a staple of school canteens on Fridays. I love them – once in a while.
You can get a some varieties – with apricots, strawberries, plums, blueberries and everyone serves them with a bit of a different topping – sugar and melted butter are a must and then you can add curd, creme fraiche, gingerbread flakes, poppyseeds, cocoa powder. Just writing it I think about my grandmother as this is typical grandmother food.
Not the answer you are looking for but check Švankmajer’s other movies, my favourite is https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117715/
