Old is a really creepy movie. This is a very cruel experiment. A pharmaceutical company has discovered a beach that causes rapid aging. This way they can test their drugs over a lifetime which only lasts a couple of days because of the rapid aging. Most people die within a day.
So they spike their drinks with the drugs they want to study, and recruit them to go to a secluded beach. In this case there is a small group that goes to the beach--The family of Guy (Gael Garcia Bernal) and Prisca Cappa (Vicky Krieps) and their two children, Maddox and Trent ( Thomasin Mackensie age 15 and Alex Wolff age 15 with several others as they age). Prisca has a tumor. There is a rapper Brenden/Mid-sized Sedan (Aaron Pierre) and his girl, another family, Charles (Rufus Sewell) is a surgeon with grandmother and a daughter, and then a couple.
First Brenden's girl is dead (maybe a murder), and then the grandmother. Complicating the plot is Charles has paranoia. Then the three children in just a couple hours are teenagers. The realize the beach is causing aging. However there is no way off. Climbing the cliffs results in black outs. Kara becomes pregnant and has a baby in just an hour or so. The baby does not live. She climbs the cliff knowing she will pass out an fall. Due mostly to aging they all die, except for the two who were children. They attempt swimming into the lagoon, and survive to turn the people doing the experiments into authorities.
This movie is a bit hard to follow, just because the plot is so incredible.
