Plot

"A year from now" in Amsterdam, the glass casing over the first volume of Anne Frank's diary's in the Anne Frank House shatters. As ink from a fountain pen drips onto the pages, the words lift off and manifest into Kitty, a red-haired teenage girl dressed in 1940s clothes and Anne's imaginary friend while writing her diary. Confused by the absence of Anne and her family, Kitty discovers she's invisible and intangible while inside the Anne Frank House as she sees civilians tour the museum. Flashbacks to Anne writing her diary in the 1940s show how Kitty remembers those events as if Anne spoke to her while writing. Her memories encompass all the diary's contents.

Not knowing what happened to the Franks and the time since World War II, Kitty takes the diary and tries to file a missing person report at the police station for Anne. Bemused, the police point her to several places in Amsterdam named after Anne Frank before trying to arrest her when they learn she has Anne's diary. Kitty escapes and meets a boy named Peter, initially mistaking him for Anne's boyfriend. While skating with him, she discovers she'll dissolve into ink if she strays too far from the diary. Peter takes her back to the Anne Frank House after she starts feeling sick. The police interrogate him, but he refuses to disclose any information about Kitty.

After nightfall, Peter returns to the Anne Frank House, explaining how he's learned how Kitty's powers work. She exits to meet him, drawing the attention of the police and forcing them both to flee again. After buying some modern clothes to blend in, Kitty visits the 6th Montessori School Anne Frank's library to catch up on history. She reviews several different published editions of Anne's diary before checking out Otto Frank's memoir and going to the play about Anne. When she criticizes the actors for misquoting Anne, the audience recognizes her from the news and swarms her. Kitty escapes and meets up with Peter, who takes her to a shelter where refugee illegal immigrants live. Awa, a little girl, explains their plight and shows Kitty how her father plans to build a hot air balloon for them to escape.

Determined to retrace Anne's footsteps, Kitty and Peter travel by train to Westerbork, Auschwitz, and Bergen-Belsen. Kitty reads Otto's memoir and listens to Hanneli Goslar's recordings, learning that Anne and Margot died and becoming more depressed. Upon arriving at Anne and Margot's memorial stone in Bergen-Belsen, a devastated Kitty breaks down sobbing before Peter convinces her to return to Amsterdam with him. When they return to the shelter, they discover the government is due to deport the refugees back to their homelands tomorrow. With her new experiences, Kitty becomes empowered to help them, spray-painting Awa's father's hot air balloon to reveal her location to the world.

With a crowd gathered the next day, Kitty makes an emotional speech, accusing the world of deifying Anne and mishandling her message of helping and saving people. She threatens to burn Anne's diary unless the government agrees to shelter the refugees. Seeing Kitty afraid of what could happen, Peter offers to take her back to the Anne Frank House to live as an immortal, invisible spirit. Despite her fear of death, she declines, as they have fallen in love. After a short deliberation, the officials and police accept Kitty's terms. She hands the diary to Awa, who delivers it to the authorities as Kitty leaves with Peter. After separating from Anne's diary for three hours, Kitty shares a passionate kiss with a distraught Peter before dissolving into ink and dispersing into the wind.

Production
