sypnosis
The movie starts off when Otto Frank retuns to Amsterdam from Auschwitz-Birkenau in a truck, arriving at 263 Prinsengracht. When he walk up the the top floor of the secret annexe, Kraler and Miep show up, and after talking, Miep hands over Anne's diary. Otto starts reading it and it goes back to July, 1942 when they went into hiding, with the Van Daans already there. The entrance would be concealed by a lone bookcase. Kraler and Miep arrives and hands them food, while Kraler warns them they have thirteen minutes to unpack before the workmen arrive. Otto also tells them more on how to live in the annexe, stopping for a moment when sirens wail. The sirens are coming from military cars carring the green police. After that, they settle in their rooms and after several minutes, the bells from the Westertoren rang, warning them that they now have to be quiet. After the day went by, Kraler and Miep comes back up, and hands out more food, and Kraler hands over a box to Otto. After they left, Otto tells Anne to open the box, and she finds not only pictures from her old room but also finds a diary in there. After that, she starts to write in it right away. Two months pass and after a day of being quiet, Anne starts havoc in the room, even end up in an argument with Peter. An air raid starts and it continue, until later that day when an argument breaks out between Hans and Petronella. It stops when Anne spills milk on Petronella's fur coat, and is talk to by her mother. Miep and Kraler arrives, with not only food and cigaretts for Hans but also a radio. After dancing to some music, Anne explains in her diary they listen to German stations for good music, and to BBC (British Broadcasting Company), and after listening to BBC, Peter switched it to Berlin, where they hear a Nazi speech, then a thief comes in and nearly mess up the office below them looking for money and rations. After an air raid, Kraler and Miep comes in and inspects the office, then heads up for the annexe and tells them that it was a thief (the Franks and Van Daans thought it was the green police). After a bit of litte arguments, Kraler tells them that there's a jewish dentist downstairs who looking for a hiding place, and then ask Otto if he could stay here, and he agrees. They bring him up, and it turns out to be Albert Dussel (the movie mistakes that for Jan Dussel). Margot has to sleep with her parents, as Mr. Dussel takes Margot's bed. During the night, Anne has a nightmare of a friend, Sanne and then outside, two Nazis shoot at a running person, possibly a Jew, and she screams. Edith comes in and trys to comfort her , but she only want Otto, so Edith gets him, and he comes in and comforts Anne. After talking, Anne goes back to sleep. The next day, the closet in the office (the one with the hidden entrance) is emptied, and one of the employees look back at the book case until Kraler starts down the steps. Dussel tries to look at Anne's diary, but is block from her hand. At night, they listen to Winston Churchill's speech with the saying of, "This is not the end, it's not even the beinning of the end, but perhaps it is the end of the beginning. Then the air raids start to get worse, and eventually, the worst air raid cause the sky window to shatter. The next night, they celebrate, but is interrupted when the thief comes back. When Peter tries to get something, he stummles and falls onto pots and pans, and the thief runs off with a typewriter and leaves the street door open. Otto tires to close the door but the night watcher beats him to it, and then enters with two Naizs, but Otto manage to get back before they enter, and then closes and locks the bookcase. After searching, they left and the night watcher boards up the window on the door, which was shatter when the thief enter. Then he locks the door and left.

While in the attic, Peter enters and keeps Anne company. He tries to kiss her, but Otto calls for them when Kraler and Miep arrives. Miep carries a cake and hands it over to Edith. After a small argument, Edith cuts the cake and hands it to everyone, including Margot, who was sick. When Miep got ready to leave, Hans hands over the fur coat, much to Petronella's dismay (due to the fact that she got the coat before her father died). Kraler warns Otto and the other that someone in the workroom might know about the entrance, and then threatens Kraler for either 20 guilders more or he'll tell the Gestapo. Otto tells him to give him half, and then he leaves. Dussel shouts at Peter, then Margot goes into despair. Edith tries to get her spirits up, but Anne shouts at her because they where already in despair. After that, she heads into the Attic, follow by Peter, who he invites Anne to come to his room if she wants to talk. Anne though starts to dress up like she's going on a date. One night after talking, the Westertoren rang their bells, and Peter tries to kiss her, but she moves. He attempts again, and this time, she lets him. Anne leaves startled. The next day, worse things happen. People who rob their ration cards were arrested, and Kraler is hospitlize with a disease, leaving Miep to run the company, and the annexe. But that not the worse part. The worse part is that the Nazis just rounded up the last of Amsterdam's jews. Spring comes, and Anne spends the day up in the nice warm attic with Peter. But in the early morning of June 6, Hans steal some bread, but is caught by Edith, who wants the Van Daans to leave right now. Eventually, Anne, Margot and Otto talks her into letting the Van Daans stay. Then Peter comes out with the radio, annoucing that today starts the mass invasion (called D-Day)that every one was waiting for. Miep runs in, and later, Kraler, healthy once again, arrives, and sings until 8:00 when the workmen would be arriving soon. They watch the planes from the sky window, even listen to speeches from the worlds, including the Nazi speeches. But good times ended when Kraler is once again hospitlize, this time in need of an operation. Miep comes one more time to give them food. Then the next day, August 4, 1944, Miep and the workmen never arrive at all. After major arguments, Peter runs into the attic full of despair, and Anne raises his spirits. But soon, they had their last kiss, for the Nazis arrived and started to search the building. After awhile, the Naizs start to break down the bookcase. After some unsussessfull hits, the lock fall off, but they didn't know it was lock because they still bash on it. After more bashes, the bookcase is destroyed, and they are taken away. Anne manage to write in her diary once more, but the last entry was cut short when they had to leave. The diary was hidden behind some worthless papers so it wouldn't be taken away by the green police when they ransack the annexe. It ends when Otto (the movie never show how the people survive the camps) tells Miep and Kraler that everyone else is dead, including Anne.
