We discuss a two-dimensional model of interaction between electrons and neutrinos. The absence of a neutrino mass allows for a local conservation law, similar to gauge invariance in quantum electrodynamics. We discuss the peculiar fact that the tree approximation gives wrong results for the conservation equation of the current associated with gauge transformations. Moreover, we show that the anomaly of the axial current is responsible for this property.
