At the first meeting itself, they get drawn to each other.. it is pure passion, attraction and some of lust which gets converted into a sheer LOVE for each other ...She gets attracted to him physically upon seeing his half naked body .. then, they both bonds with each other over lunch and then over dinner .. The little details which are shown of their first day tell us all .. :) They do kiss and eventually share a bed with passion for each other .. The beauty of their love does not dies away with it. It grows with every moment .. like their love.. Over the next 2 days, they fight, they make up, they hang out together, they talk out loud their fears and the worst comes out to be 'getting apart' ...

Her dilemma which is depicted in the movie is wonderful... Her completes all her duties with same smile on face but a big agony in her heart. He never contacts her until her husband dies. He sends her a baggage containing all their memories together and also a book dedicated to her named "Four days" by him.
The beauty of the movie lies in the direction and both leading actors .. All the other things are just negligible ..Viewer gets so mesmerised by the leading lady's charm and later on by their love's charm..
Every couple should watch this movie if they wants to fall in love with each other all over again.. :)
