A porn star trades moans for microphones in this lavish, plot-obsessed musical fever dream.
This costly feature film stars Zara Whites as a pornstar called Divina who tries to shake off her ties to the flesh trade and become a pop singer. But Divina's husband sabotages her career at every turn because he doesn't like the idea of her quitting a lucrative dayjob... In DIVINA, director Mario Salieri emphasizes plot over pounding: the six (anal-heavy) sex scenes clearly take second stage to the many musical interludes. It's obvious that director Salieri spent a fortune on this movie, a fact mirrored by the sumptuous extras menu that includes several of Zara Whites' songs, 'Behind the Scenes' footage and various interviews.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Salieri was Italy's most expensive adult director; Divina represented his attempt at 'respectable' crossover cinema. The industry laughed. Audiences were confused.
Zara Whites recorded actual singles for this role. The DVD extras menu includes her music videos, making this perhaps the only porn film with a soundtrack you can hum ironically at parties.
