Elle à grandit elle s’en branle du regard des gens
➔ Reflexive Pronoun "s'en branler"
➔ "S'en branler" is a very informal (and somewhat vulgar) reflexive expression meaning "to not care", "to not give a damn". The "s'" refers back to the subject ("elle"), and "en" replaces the thing they don't care about (the gaze of others).
-
Je vous parle d’un temps que les moins de vingt ans ne peuvent pas connaître
➔ Subjunctive in a relative clause after a negative or uncertain antecedent
➔ The antecedent "un temps" is qualified by a relative clause. Because the speaker is implying that this time is unknown to those under 20, the verb "connaître" is in the subjunctive mood. The subjunctive here expresses doubt or uncertainty about the existence or knowledge of this time.

Elle s’en fout un peu de savoir ce qu’il y a après la mort
➔ Indirect Question (Savoir + Interrogative Pronoun)
