Amber's movie premiere came a little more than a month after Depp made his grand comeback with the premiere of his French film Jeanne du Barry. The historical drama, directed by and starring Maïwenn, opened the Cannes Film Festival this year.

More about the movie

This is her first major onscreen role since the end of her legal battle with Depp last year, which she lost. As per the press release, Heard plays a "pioneering psychiatrist who sets out to treat a desperate child at a time when psychiatry is not yet a respected science.'' The story takes place in 1899.

"While the woman tries to psychoanalyze the child, the nefarious events intensify and her 'cure' becomes a race to save the little boy from the fury of his fellow citizens, and perhaps, even from himself."

Amber's relocation to Spain

After her highly publicised defamation case with ex-husband Johnny Depp, Amber has kept her profile relatively low. And biding adieu to the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, the actor has moved to Madrid, Spain, with her young daughter, Oonagh.

Confirming the same to Spanish media, the actress said that she has moved to Spain and plans to live there.

The actress said in Spanish, "I love Spain so much. I hope I can get to stay here, I love living here. I hope you are good, it was a pleasure meeting you. I have to move forward, huh? That's life."

On the work front

If reports are to be believed, she will next be seen in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,which will be released in December of this year. After she lost the multi-million dollar defamation lawsuit filed by Depp, several reports came out stating that her role had been axed from the movie.

The long defamation trial

The two-month-long trial was held in Fairfax, Virginia, during which the Aquamanactress accused her ex-husband of domestic violence. After the six-week trial, the seven-member jury at Fairfax Court sided with Johnny in the $50 million defamation case and agreed that Amber and her Washington Post op-ed had slandered not only Depp's image but also his career.
