It is criticized that the resident card, which has been implemented since 1968, is in fact only a fascistic system of state power to classify and control the people. Fingerprinting is the most essential part of the control process, and the work explains that only after completing the humiliating fingerprinting process can you enjoy your rights and duties as a 'citizen'. The director is a person who has participated in the opposition to fingerprinting since May 2000. The movement of the work follows Lee's struggle leading up to the administrative lawsuit, intersecting the arguments of the government and the logic of opponents of the resident card.
