Amber Heard is thrilled about her latest film, In the Fire. The actress attended the 69th Taormina Film Festival in Italy to support the premiere of her movie and spoke to People about her experience in the supernatural thriller.

“It’s a beautiful movie about the almost supernatural effect and force of love,“ Heard said. “It is about the boundaries that love can cross and its creation, and really about the overwhelming power that love has. I don’t want to sound cheesy about it, but it’s a movie about love,” she added.
