Two sets of twins in Colombia, one from the countryside and one from the city, were separated at birth and one from each set went to live with the wrong family. There's an article in the New York Times this Sunday. The similarity to the movie is hard to believe! When the brothers from the countryside came to the city, they ran into each other! Check out the link on CNN:

Thanks, I was looking for this story! Interesting coincidence, the boys were born in 1988!

Hey I'm glad someone else noticed this. I thought it pretty crazy I was the only one who noticed the connection. I thought the CNN story would at least reference the movie in passing.

Very interesting about the year; I hadn't noticed that!
