Help me name this Brazilian movie!

Help me remember the name of a Brazilian movie (in Portuguese) in which a young man, hired by his wealthy dentist, becomes a hitman / "security guard." I watched it on Sundance Channel about a year ago.
The dentist is annoyed by youth gangsters/street crime and dislikes (to put it lightly!) non-white Brazilians. He hires his patient to protect local businesses and "take care" of criminals/thieves.
I think the hitman turns on the dentist toward the end of the movie.
Other things I remember:
1) They live in a large city — Rio de Janeiro, possibly!
2) The hitman had a pet pig.
3) At one point in the movie he dyed his hair blond.
4) He fought a lot with his girlfriend.
It was shown on the Sundance Channel. I can't for the life of me remember what this movie is called, but I really liked it!
Thanks for your help!
