The premise of Old is simple: A group of families on a resort vacation are escorted to a private beach and find themselves trapped there—and aging rapidly. (AKA, the beach that makes you old.)
Trapped on the beach, children Trent, Maddox, and Kara are subjected to years' worth of hormones, growing pains, and a series of firsts in the span of hours. Teenagers Trent and Kara act on their new feelings, resulting in Kara's accelerated pregnancy and subsequent childbirth.
How Does Old End? After the premise of Old is revealed that the characters vacationing on a beach are aging quickly (one year every half an hour), a character says that "trial 73" is over. This is the big twist that is always part of an M. Night Shyamalan movie, including The Visit.

The coral, for reasons unexplained, counteracted the effects of the cove's rocks. Once Maddox and Trent were able to swim through the coral, they were free. The damage to their lives, however, had already been done and couldn't be reversed.
Old is a movie about a husband and a wife — a father and a mother — realizing that their squabbles are not as important as their love's product: their kids. Only when they face their end and witness their children grow rapidly into adults do they recognize the wonder they've made as a couple.
Dr. Kouichirou Kanaya, who is an ear, nose and throat specialist, says in a NicoNico News interview that while high blood pressure and an increase in heart rate are definitely caused by sex, nosebleeds are something that have no connection to it.
That may be the point of the fictional rap star, whose given name isn't revealed to his fellow beach goers and the audience until well into the movie. For actor Pierre, who says Shyamalan “pre-determined” that stage name, Mid-Size is a conversation about duality and a chance to examine our own snap judgments.
