Minor question about the ending. SPOILERS.


Is it at all plausible and realistic that, no matter how shocking and heart-breaking the events that Flyora witnessed by invading fascists at gunpoint and having a near death experience, that he would in less than a day appear and possibly even become as OLD as he did, with wrinkles and aging marks on his face, as shown at the end of the movie?

Does war related PTSD really cause people to age like that as depicted in this movie?

Or was it, even if acceptable and understandable, simply a case of artistic license - what do you think, thanks.

Yeah, I've seen that one before.

But in this movie, it seemed that, although undeniably traumatic as the events he witnessed, he has drastically aged in HOURS, not even DAYS, at least that character did in YEARS, which IS plausible.
