00:00I'm going to tell you a story that's very hard to believe.
00:07I can't call it an experiment because experiments are always controlled.
00:12It's absolutely extraordinary.
00:15You know, it's the kind of experiment that scientists dream about, but could never do ethically.
00:21I'm William Cañas Velasco.
00:24I'm Wilber Cañas. I was born in Vélez Santander.
00:29I'm Jorge Bernal.
00:31My name is Carlos Alberto Bernal Castro.
00:33I was born in Bogotá.
00:35One day I was passing by and Laura told me,
00:38Are you ready to see your double?
00:43I can't believe it. This guy is just like me.
00:46He really was someone very similar to me, identical.
00:50I told him, you know what's the funniest thing?
00:52William has a twin brother and he doesn't look like him at all.
00:55And he said, Jorge, same.
00:56Do you believe in fairytales?
00:58Oh my God, it wasn't just a problem anymore.
01:01The problem was bigger than we thought.
01:07It was eight in the morning when Dr. Hoy told me,
01:09There's a sick kid and I have to send a kid to Bogotá.
01:13I really don't know what could have happened with the change of twins.
01:21They're taking me from Bogotá to Santander.
01:26If there was an exchange person, it was me.
01:29I felt cheated.
01:31On the other side, there was a person identical to me, but I didn't know how to talk.
01:36We shouldn't have gotten involved in this.
01:38I don't want to meet them.
01:56I don't want to meet them.
