As the family gathers to celebrate Tomiko's birthday, Shuzo asks her what she wants as a present, assuming it would be something ordinary. However, to everyone's astonishment, Tomiko boldly declares that after five decades of marriage, she wants a divorce. This announcement throws the entire family into utter chaos.

Initially, the family tries to brush off Tomiko's request, hoping it is just a momentary outburst. But when they realize she is serious, each member of the family starts reflecting on their own marriages and relationships. Konosuke, who is married to Fumie, begins questioning his own satisfaction with his marriage and starts sympathizing with his father.

As the news spreads, neighbors and friends get wind of the situation, and they are divided in their opinions. Some consider it outrageous and demand the Hirata couple to reconsider, while others, particularly those who have faced similar situations or have been secretly unhappy in their own marriages, support Tomiko's desire for a fresh start.

The family becomes embroiled in passionate, heated debates about marriage, commitment, and the reasons for Tomiko's discontent. Through these discussions, each member of the family reveals their true feelings, long-held secrets, regrets, and desires.

Amidst all the chaos, Tomiko and Shuzo remain resolute in their decision to divorce. However, this unexpected turn of events forces the whole family to confront their own insecurities and evaluate their relationships honestly.

Ultimately, What a Wonderful Family! explores the complexities of marriage and the dynamics of familial relationships. It delves into the struggles and challenges faced by each character as they navigate through the aftermath of Tomiko's birthday announcement, leading them to question the meaning of love, commitment, and personal happiness.
