Painful
So, I just saw this Swedish documentary Kapten Nemos barn (Captain Nemo's children). It was brilliant, but also very painful to watch.
It's a true story from the 1940s about how two children from neighboring villages were accidentally changed when they were born. A famous Swedish author, P O Enqvist, also made it into a book, called Captain Nemo's Library (Kapten Nemos bibliotek), which isn't so strange when the true story involves his own family.
The scandal shook Sweden when it came out and the children were forced to move back to their biological families. They were 7 years old at the time.

Really, really good and interesting to watch. The painful, moral dilemma about what should you do when the child you have lovingly raised for 7 years isn't yours and your biological child is less than 6 km away. Could you actually give away that child to another family and take in another child you don't know?
