It's an absurd movie on the surface, but if you have Netflix watch it sometime!
To give a summary..it's about 3rd shift janitors who start eating these cookies that are laying around the office. The cookies are being product tested. It turns out that as a side-effect, the cookies cause the men to give birth to a neon-blue fish out of their asses. The poor fish have no eyes, nor do they survive.
It sounds like a bunch of nonsense, but there's a large metaphor being imparted..especially with the concept of Janus they bring up (..god of beginnings and transitions, thence also of gates, doors, doorways, endings and time. He is usually a two-faced god since he looks to the future and the past. The Romans dedicated the month of January to Janus.)
Apparently the word janitor comes from Janus. "We keep it clean in between." My take is the movie is about being humble, providing that stable foundation, and performing essential function within.
