Here is Carpe Diem, a very cute short film featuring this tradition.

Official Vimeo mirror (somewhat region-locked): https://vimeo.com/channels/animationaub19/341755071

There are references to Cosy Dens, hallmark Czech Christmas movie set during the 1968 Prague Spring and Soviet invasion, as well as graduation films by their classmates.

(Carp are terrible invasive species but) Carpe Diem is adorable. I like the art style, too. And the fish pathos.

Carps are native to the Czech Republic and because of Christmas, they are farmed quite a lot, especially in South Bohemia's Třeboň region, where the area of ponds is more than arable land.
