Divina
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.
