I watched a documentary about swapped twins in Colombia The Accidental Twins.

2 sets of identical twins born in 1988, one pair in rural La Paz and one pair in Bogota. One of the La Paz babies wasn't well and was sent to a hospital in the capital, where the mistake happened.

They grow up as fraternal twins, because they are not very much alike. 20+ years later they somehow run into each other through friends.
Imagine someone tells you "Hey, I met this guy who looks exactly like you" and you check out this guys social media and there are pictures of the guy, looking like you with another guy that looks exactly like your twin brother.

Seriously, such a wild story. Super interesting and heartbreaking at times.
